Back to the Lecce Film Fest, this year as a jury member!

Posted on by

This year I will be again present to my beloved Lecce Film Festival, somehow!

I do not have any new short film to compete with but I am there anyway (albeit only virtually) since I am one of the members of the jury! I have to admit that it has been a lovely and enriching experience even though I must also say that it is really difficult to “judge” someone else’s work.

I hope you can be there, from the 7th to the 10th of December!

“Dignity” back to New Jersey!

Posted on by

Last April Dignity was screened by an amazing film festival in the United States, the “Women In The World” – Women In Media – Newark’s 2017 Women’s History Month Film Festival.

A few days ago the festival directress got in touch with me to ask if I wanted to authorize her to screen “Dignity” during their  16 days of Activism to eliminate Gender-Based Violence initiatives, explaining that my documentary had been among those that had received most appreciation by the audience because “it clearly illustrates the importance of education and hope when facing tremendous odds. We congratulate you for sharing this compelling story with film goers throughout the world, and look forward to screening more of your work with our audiences.”

So do not miss it! East Orange Public Library Monday 4 December at 6:00 PM.

Interview about “The Coltrane Code” with Jazzitalia

Posted on by

One of Italy’s most prominent websites about jazz got curious about my shortfilm “The Coltrane code” so Marco Losavio, chief editor of Jazzitalia.net interviewed me about it, so nice!
We have decided to offer all readers the possibility of watching it exclusively for a few days, so why not taking the chance now if you are also curious? Check the piece out here and find link and password to it!

“Midsommar” competing at the Hope-First festival, with “Dignity” hors concours

Posted on by

I am always extremely happy when my first important short film, “Midsommar”, gets selected for a festival after so many years. It remains my favorite narrative short and I get very emotional when it is competing somewhere!

This time especially as I really like this festival in its political intentions. The Hope-First FF aims to human rights and anyone can watch all the competing films on its Youtube channel. The film that are most watched will be joint into a single movie that is broadcasted on the conclusive event on July 14th, 2018. So should you want to watch it (again?) it can be a good idea to do so here.

And even “Dignity” is present, hors councours! You can see it here!
