Italians around the globe can submit footage of their lives on 26 October 2013 to Italian TV鈥檚 RAI website for the 鈥樚烀来 In A Day鈥 social filmmaking project.

Oscar-winning Italian director Gabriele Salvatores will select and edit the footage, which will be turned into a 90-minute movie. RAI will air 鈥樚烀来 In A Day鈥 on television and release it as a film for cinemas in 2014.

Italians can make their digital submissions using a phone, camera or tablet. Information on how to participate in the first collaborative film by Italian citizens is at the RAI site . Videos can be uploaded until 17 November 2013. The project is a collaboration between RAI Cinema and multimedia company Indiana Production.

Salvatores won the 1991 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for 鈥楳editerraneo鈥. More recently he has directed 鈥業o non ho paura鈥 (I鈥檓 Not Scared, 2003) and 鈥楥ome Dio comanda鈥 (As God Commands, 2008). He told journalists at a press conference announcing 鈥樚烀来 In A Day鈥 that he was excited by its creative potential because it provides the opportunity for Italians to film whatever they want to create 鈥渁 symphony of images鈥 and millions of viewpoints.

The movie is part of Oscar-winning English film director Sir Ridley Scott鈥檚 user-generated documentary project 鈥楲ife In A Day鈥, which was announced in 2010 and released a year later. Subsequently, Fuji TV licensed the format for 鈥楯apan In A Day鈥 and the BBC for 鈥楤ritain In A Day鈥.
