I feel so excited and honored that The Wedding Cake, in addition to being a finalist at the Social Film Festival ArTelesia last year, continues its path inside the festival through a screening today at the auditorium of the Benevento Prison, as an initiative of the “Cortincarcere” project!
I am really pleased that my short is shown in this context, which is one of the most important possible.

“The Wedding Cake” screened one year after at the Brussels Independent Film Festival!
As I announced one year ago, The Brussels Independent Film Festival selected The Wedding Cake for the 2021 festival, but due to the Belgian COVID-19 situation and government regulations, the screening was postponed to the 2022 edition.
The screening is tomorrow starting 9 pm and I feel very sad for not being there… It is probably the last time my short will be screened at a festival, and it feels melancholy to understand it’s the end of its journey! But it’s been two FANTASTIC years, with seventy-nine festival participation and countless prizes and nominations! Thankfulness, satisfaction, incredulity and pride predominate of course, but I can’t help feeling sadness, too!
“The Wedding Cake” Won the Cultura Caotica FF!
I am very glad to announce that The Wedding Cake won the 12th edition of the Cultura Caotica Film Festival!
This was the 79th festival competition for The Wedding Cake (and most probably the last!) and it feels strange and astonishing how far this little film managed to travel since the beginning of its journey, two years ago! With 15 wins and 10 nominations, I am honestly very satisfied.
I am truly thankful to everyone who gave their contribution to make it possible! My big gratitude to Mikael Moiner, Adriana Rosati, Astrid Hallén, Veli-Matti O Äijälä, Amer Kapetanović, Riccardo Cimino, Giulia Colavolpe Severi and last but not least of course Simon Häggström and Talita.

“The Wedding Cake” at Generazione Mai Più – Messina!
Those of you that follow me are aware by now that my feature docudrama project “The Ultimate Prostitution & Porn Anthology” (for which The Wedding Cake is a pilot) is basically targeting secondary school kids. My goal is for teenagers to watch it and get some off-the-record perspective about what’s going on with selling one’s body for sex, be it in front of a camera or not.
Therefore, you will surely understand my total bliss when I heard that the High School Liceo Artistico “E. Basile” in Messina, Sicily, was going to work on The Wedding Cake for their story board assignment! Their work – and mine! – will be shown tonight at the “Generazione Mai Più” event in my beautiful Messina!

A double selection for The Wedding Cake in Germany, finally! My short was one of ten selected for the outdoor screenings at the first edition of the tailor made cozy Sister’s Wild Cinema in Ulm, on September 3rd. I am very glad my film was included in the section Mikrokosmos Familie.
And then, a selection of the Sister’s Wild Cinema will be also screened at the Biberacher Filmfestspiele on November 4th, from 7 pm, at the Traumpalast Kino in Biberach. I am considering traveling there for the event! Continue reading

Pride and joy for this precious festival selection! Tonight, at the Cinema Massimo in Turin The Wedding Cake will be competing at one of the most socially important festivals I have ever been to… The LiberAzioni is not just about films, but about a possibility of hope, future, belonging. I could not be happier today, and it surely shows on my face here, struggling with my strong emotions!
