In remembrance of filmmaker Jonathan Demme (February 22, 1944 – April 26, 2017) we re-post this interview which we conducted during the 69th Venice International Film Festival where he presented his music documentary on Neapolitan musician Enzo Avitabile: Enzo Avitabile Music Life. Demme talks about his passion for music, for Avitabile’s music and his discovering the real soul and essence of Napoli.
