I have stopped submitting The Wedding Cake to festivals since a while because it has already participated to so many, but I can’t resist invitations from passionate curators such as Bonnie O’Neill, who runs the Hudson NY Shorts Film Festival! On Saturday November 13th at 8pm EST (1 o’clock CET) I will be attending some Q&As online, you are most welcome to join me there!

“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!

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.

“Dignity” at the Bright Future Independent Film Festival!
It’s been quite a while since I enrolled my short film documentary Dignity to a film festival, but someone suggested me the Bright Future Independent Film Festival here in my hometown Göteborg and I gladly submitted it: I am so happy my short has been selected! This is its 62nd festival screening!
The festival will take place both online (2-10 October) and in two amazing venues here in Göteborg, the “Världskulturmuseet – The World Culture Museum” on the 8th of October, and the Röhsska Museum on the 10th of October. Not sure if Dignity will make it for the live screenings, but I will let you guys know about the schedule in this case!
