“Just Looking” online on SFILM

 

 

 

I feel so happy that the Swedish Film Association (SFILM) has purchased the screening rights to the cinematic version of my installation about catcalling – “JUST LOOKING” – to broadcast it on their Vimeo channel!

It is going to be there for a limited time, hurry up if you want to see it at this link.

Italian Cultural Ministry awards “Michelina Di Cesare, Briganta” with screenplay funds!

Please rejoice with me: my feature film project extracted from my novel about bandit Michelina Di Cesare was ranked FIRST among the 226 submitted so it is granted a fund of 20,000 Euro for the writing of the screenplay!

I am honored and moved with the recognition this story receives and I am hopeful the right producers will make me shoot the film once the screenplay is completed!

Coaching with Ellen Fiske!

I am totally proud and glad that I got a chance to discuss with Ellen Fiske about one of my documentary projects! She is not only a super talented directress but also wonderful woman ❤
She has given me a lot of strength and courage about my project and this is just what I needed! Thank you Ellen and thank you Sveriges Filmförbund ❤

“The Wedding Cake” at the Noite dos Museus, Porto Alegre!

The Wedding Cake was selected by the lovely Fantaspoa Film Festival of Porto Alegre (BR) in 2021. Unfortunately, the festival could only be held online back then, but luckily – during the coming Noite dos Museus (“Night of Museums”) that will take place on May 20th – “The Wedding Cake” will be exhibited at “Cinemateca Capitólio”, apparently the most beautiful movie theater in Porto Alegre! I am extremely glad that my short will be screened again in a real cinema in front of a flesh and blood audience!

“Gang Dance” at the Cinema São Jorge!

My VR360 short film “Gang Dance” ready for viewing in Lisbon as part of the Festa do Cinema Italiano from April 1 to 3 in staging at Cinema São Jorge! I am excited about this screening (details are here), and moved by the words of presentation written by the festival organizers: “A colossal project, premiered in Milan at the Filmmaker Festival. A dance performance that engages and oppresses, denying any form of escape. A symbolic journey into the universe of social networks, reflecting on the abuse of bodies and images, between exposure and sharing.”

A marvel! Go if you are in Lisbon, free entrance.

“The Wedding Cake” in Ulm again!

I am very happy that the fantastic women of the Sister’s Wild Cinema have asked me to screen The Wedding Cake  during a film event organized for the Equal Pay Day, tonight at 6:30 p.m. at M25, Münsterplatz 25, in Ulm, in collaboration with the Women’s Office of the City of Ulm and the Neu-Ulm District Equal Opportunity Office.

“Gang Dance” at the “Festa do Cinema Italiano”!

My VR360 short film “Gang Dance” keeps on rolling, this time for its Portuguese premiere! In fact, it has been selected for the prestigious Lusitanian festival wholly dedicated to Italian cinema that after seven days of performances in Lisbon then moves to all the most important Portuguese cities. The Festa do Cinema Italiano – now in its sixteenth edition – will start on March 29 in Lisbon and continue until April 6.

I am really happy with this selection, for me and for my whole team, especially my right-hand man Mikael Moiner, who magnificently took care of all the technical and visual part of the short film!

Thank you IFEMA!

And congratulations to my filmmaking sisters for having made so relevant, meaningful and beautiful shorts, it was such an excellent program! Shortfilm at its best! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
