Promo for the Gothenburg Röda Sten Konsthall!

Posted on by

This short film was prepared for the Röda Sten Konsthall, the most interesting art exhibition location in Gothenburg (not to say the whole of Sweden!).
It is meant to recap the activities done during 2016 and to thank all people who made it special – once again!
The photographer and editor is Magnus Bergström, and I was assisted by Mikael Moiner during the shooting.
Archive images belong to Attila Urban and Hendrik Zeitler, while the music is courtesy of Jason Farnham.

 

The polar infinite: “Antarktis” by Gerry Johansson

Posted on by

I return once more to discussing photography because of a new one-person show at the Elf Galleri in Gothenburg. Under the spotlight the Swedish photographer with the most international recognition Gerry Johansson, with an exhibit called “Antarktis” (“Antarctica”).
It consists of images printed from a negative obtained in analog large format (8 x 10 inches) taken during a long, six-week session while on an expedition in the Antarctic. In prohibitive conditions among polar temperatures and violent winds, which Johansson braved with great obstinacy, he would wait for the right moment to go outside and shoot in all directions. The composition of the images is one of the most rewarding elements of this collection, with images that are always that millimeter different from how we would have photographed them. A millimeter that truly makes all the difference between a sharp, clean image and a work of art. Continue reading →

At the Lecce Film Festival for the third time!!

Posted on by

I was not sure I would make a new film in 2017, but then I understood I must. How would they do at the Lecce Film Fest otherwise??? 😀

Kidding apart, after “Midsommar” in 2014 and “Dignity” in 2015 (that received an award), I am selected once again this year, with “The Coltrane Code”. A big honor – almost a responsibility now! – to deliver high quality films to this festival, that continues because of Nicola Neto’s big courage and determination. Congratulations!

“Dignity” at the Cagliari Solidando Film Festival

Posted on by

This is a very prestigious selection for me, for the Cagliari (Sardinia) Solidando Film Festival, that will take place on 8-11 December 2016!

The most amazing part of it all is that “Dignity” has been accepted to compete even though it did not match to the initial competion requirements. This strong will of having it anyway touches me deeply!

Too bad I will not be able to participate, considering how much I love the beautiful city of Cagliari, that has a special place into my heart…
