Selected for the “Bergman Talent Lab”!
I am SO happy and enormously proud – and very surprised, too!
Me and my miniseries project “Klara” are selected to take part to the “Talent Lab”, the annual budding talent event that takes place every end of June on the island of Fårö (Gotland), during the “Bergman Week”. In fact, the famous Swedish director Ingmar Bergman shot some of his masterpieces on this island, where he lived for the better part of his late life.
Every year, during the event, a handful of directors from Sweden that are considered talented are selected by Film på Gotland for some special workshops and seminars. This year the number was restricted to 8, but still, I got to be one of them! Please celebrate with me, I am so delighted!
“The Wedding Cake” at the Roma Cinema DOC
Nice with a new festival in my hometown! The Wedding Cake selected by the Roma Cinema DOC, festival selection number 65 for my little film!
Back to the Sa.Fi.Ter Festival with “The Wedding Cake”!
I am so glad to be back with The Wedding Cake to one of the best Italian festivals, the Salento Finibus Terrae International Short Film Festival (aka Sa.Fi.Ter) where I won an award 5 years ago with “Dignity”! It feels like going back home and I would have love to be there in person at the stunning Teatro Verdi of San Severo, in Apulia. That area has a special place in my heart and I would have loved to visit again (among other things, to enjoy the best food in the world – I am not exaggerating!).
I am competing in the Human Right section, and the festival will take place 19-20 June, go if you can!
A poster for “Gang Dance”!
I am so happy, proud and thrilled to present the new poster for my new VR short film “Gang Dance”, created by my favorite designer Adriana Rosati, based on the magnificent set photo by Per Larsson illustrating the great dancer Toby Kassell! I just love it!
“Just Looking” selected for the Mister Vorky Festival!
I have not really pushed my short about cat-calling, “Just Looking”, very much to festivals, as I consider it an installation mainly. But I have accepted some invitations, like the one from the Mister Vorky Festival! Luckily, it has been selected for the competition program of one-minute films at 8th edition of this interesting event taking place from 9th till 13th of June 2021 in Ruma, Serbia. Beside live screenings, that are scheduled on Friday and Saturday, 11th and 12th of June, at 8PM CET, there will be also two competition programs of one-minute films online, on the festival’s Vimeo channel from Friday 11th of June, till Monday 14th of June.
Working on the final editing of the VR film to meet the Venice VR Expanded deadline!
My editor Mikael Moiner is working madly to complete the editing of out Virtual Reality short “Gang Dance” before May 31st, which is the deadline for the 78. Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematografica di Venezia – Biennale del Cinema.
I am of course just dreaming out loud, but you never know…
Gala screening of “The Wedding Cake” at FipaDoc!
I am so glad that FipaDoc managed to host a theatrical screening of their magnificent festival in Biarritz! The event is due 12-17 June and The Wedding Cake will be screened hors concours during the gala that will be held on 16 June, in between awards.
It is really exciting to think of my short on the big screen again, after so many months of online festivals! How I wish I were able to attend…
