About: They called me Pietro, from director Pedro Mercado
At the Do Ut Des Film Festival, Pedro Mercado's work won in the Remix Culture: Italy-Venezuela section, dedicated precisely to cultural exchange between directors about the Latin American country.
On this occasion, the jury valued the audiovisual “the originality of the tone, the brilliance of history and the fluidity of rhythm; as well as the ability to authenticately reflect the welcoming atmosphere that the Venezuelan people have reserved for Italians over the years and the perfect integration between the two peoples”.
According to the verdict, “the short narrates, in a non-trivial way, childhood in a country that has always been multicultural, but which for some years now runs the risk of disappearing in its truest and most genuine essence”.

Director Pedro Mercado believes that “the public is grateful for the honesty and simplicity” of Me was called Pietro, for telling a “very intimate story that ends up having an important nostalgic burden. It is a work that has no aesthetic, narrative or political pretense. It's just me, remembering my childhood and how happy I was surrounded by the immigrant community, mostly Italians, in contrast to my current life, in a society and a country that has changed, added also to a pandemic”.
