My short “The Wedding Cake” selected for the RVK Feminist Film Festival in Reykjavik!
My new short film “The Wedding Cake” will have its world premiere in Iceland!
It was supposed to be just a pilot for a larger docudrama artistic film project that I am very thrilled about, but when I heard about the exciting RVK Feminist Film Festival last September, I felt that I wanted to hurry up and finish it so that it could participate.
Imagine my happiness when I was notified that it was selected to compete in Reykjavik, between 16th and 19th of January.
I feel so glad and proud right now!
I will inform you about the programming asap, in case you are there! I hope I can be there myself of course!

The poster of “The Wedding Cake”
Please allow me to introduce the poster of my new short film “The Wedding Cake”! It is a pilot for a larger docudrama artistic film project that I am very thrilled about!
Thanks to everyone who worked on this short! Mikael Moiner DoP −editor and colorgrader−, Adriana Rosati −designer artist of the cake and the scenographer−, Astrid Hallén −voice over actress−, Veli-Matti Äijälä −music score composer−, Riccardo Cimino from Suonilab −sound mastering−, Amer Kapetanović −additional lighting– and Giulia Colavolpe Severi −translator.
Most of all I want to thank from the bottom of my heart Simon Häggström that is my antiprostitution hero, and the organization Talita that does an irreplaceable job in supporting women who leave prostitution. This short film would not have existed without you.
Instagram!
I finally opened an Instagram profile! Not sure if it any good but hey, I can see you guys there, too!

“Just Looking” på Medfilm Festival i Rom
Överlycklig och hedrad att “Just Looking” kommer att tävla på MedFilm Festival, som är Roms äldsta internationella filmfestival och i år firar 25-årsjubileum. “Just Looking” är en del av festivalens nya sektion “Walk With Women”.
Det är ett konstnärligt arbete som jag utvecklade som en 6-skärmars videoinstallation, som också finns i kortfilmsvariant.
Visningen är på lördag den 9:e november kl. 15:30 på biografen Cinema Savoy, Via Bergamo 25, Rom.
”Just Looking” är ett foto- och videokollage om kvinnors synvinkel på ”catcalling” och dess implikation på det patriarkala samhället där våldtäktskulturen objektifierar kvinnor, rättfärdigar att deras kroppar ska kunna utnyttjas genom både betalda (prostitution) och obetalda (våldtäkt) sexuella övergrepp.
Jag vill än en gång tacka alla som medverkade i projektet, först och främst min man Mikael Moiner Photography för bilderna tillsammans med Cinzia Bolognini och Marco Puppini, Magnus Bergström för klippningen och Therese Larsson för ljuddesignen.
Jag vill också tacka alla professionella samt amatörskådespelare som ville delta i detta projektet.
Tack!
“Dignity” on FestiFlix!
My documentary “Dignity” is now available to watch online on demand on Festiflix streaming channel!
You can find it at this link. Enjoy!
Ny installation “Just Looking”
Jag och Mikael Moiner har jobbat tillsammans för ett installationsprojekt (sex skärmar + sex högtalare) för att berätta om de olika typer av kvinnohat som uttrycker sig i sexualiserat våld mot kvinnor.
Vi hoppas att kunna få visa det i den rätta konstmiljön men vi tyckte att det var viktigt att visa upp den idag, på Internationella dagen mot våld mot kvinnor. Det brukar inte se ut så på svenska gator, som tur är, men det gör det i många många andra länder, inte minst i mitt ursprungsland Italien.
Om ni har 60 lediga sekunder, är ni välkomna att titta. Tack!
New project for “Dignity no-profit People”
As a derived project of my documentary film “Dignity”, a brand new project was started, called “Dignity no profit people“. We are now extremely happy to announce that the project is expanding even more, as we are buying some land to build a multipurpose center where we plan for educational, handicrafts, health, sports, theatrical and you-name-it projects!
If you have any ideas you want to share with us, please feel free to come with proposals! We are open and curious, and do not focus on money but on love, creativity & effort from all who believe that single small acts of beauty do make a difference! As our page is mainly in Italian, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me, should you feel curious about more!
Narrator for concerts dedicated to Rome
I had the great pleasure and honor to be invited to narrate about my home town Rome by one of the most important musical institutions of the city of Gothenburg, the Göteborg Wind Orchestra, located in the oldest building in town – the Kronhuset.
Directed by Maestro Niklas Wallén, I will have the opportunity of narrating about the Eternal City from a sightly more subtile and unusual perspective. I will use the four elements of water, earth, air and fire, that give an emotional experience even to the occasional tourist.
Double concert tomorrow in the town of Tidaholm, and grand concert on Saturday, 4 pm at the Kronhuset!
