Each time one of my films gets selected to a festival I feel very satisfied, of course, albeit it is obvious that some festivals do have a greater impact then others because of their history, audience, aura.

Among them the FICT (the Torrelavega International Short Festival), that is held from May 20th to June 3rd at the Teatro Municipal Concha Espina in the town of Torrelavega in Cantabria, Northern Spain. A festival with a very long and prestigious tradition, that has gone as far as its 18th edition!

Therefore, I will beg your pardon for feeling some pride in announcing that “Dignity” has been selected to compete this year, and it will be screened on May 29th, at 7 pm.

And I feel very tempted to go!!

I made it!! I won!! Best music video at the Polish International Film Festival!! I am surprised, really.. one of the categories was “jazz” so I guessed it would have naturally won there but I actually won in the main one: WOW! I am delighted…. I love this video, I put all my heart into it!

“Coltrane” does not seem to be willing to stop its run!

New selection at the Mini Movie Fest, that will be held in two weeks. Let’s hope for the better!

I put so much passion and love in this video – both for Daniel Karlsson Trio‘s music and for the spectacular locations – that I cannot help being elated each time it gets some recognition, however small. In this case, not so small, being it the Polish International Film Festival.

I am really really delighted for this new recognition of my “Dignity”, that just won TWO merit awards at the Docs Without Borders Film Festival in Nassau (USA). One as “Human Spirit Short” – which is particularly important for me – and the second for its “Excellence for Cinematography”. I am extremely pleased that the value of the images filmed with Fabrizio Del Dotto and Darim A. Da Prato, with the aid of Cinzia Bolognini, is acknowledged in its own merit. We were a small but big team that looked with respect and love at the young girls we met thanks to Emanuela Bonavolta. Thank you all once again!

New selection for “Coltrane”!

This time going to the Cesena (Italy) MusiCanZone FilmFest, and I am really glad to be back to the region of Romagna!

The festival will take place in July, at the Magazzino Parallelo venue, dates to be advised. Nice! 🙂
