I have just completed a new video I shot for one of my favorite indie bands of all times, Anywhen, led by the musician Thomas Feiner. David Sylvian loved their third (and last) album, [“The Opiates” (2001)] so much that he decided to rerelease and distribute it -seven years after the first release- for his label Samadhisound. The rerelease included two new songs (on of them the magnificent Yonderhead) and it made this great musician famous abroad. “The Opiates” is still his most popular work, but the first two albums are also very enjoyable even though they sound more like britpop. I decided to have a fun go with The Ultimate Independent, a track from the second album (simply titled “Anywhen”) for which Feiner wrote lyrics I really like: teen and naïve but also full of incorruptible strength and unwillingness to compromise. As actors, I chose two young sisters (Mimi and Agnes Bergquist) and the band’s bassist, Mikael Moiner (Mikael Andersson at the time) that -for this song only- “stole” the role of lead singer from Feiner in the chorus. Peter Hernqvist, Lotta Eldh and Ralf Markenstrand also had some fun with us along the way. This album was released in Sweden in 1996, and in Europe in 1997, so it’s twenty years now!

I would never ever thought that I would some day directed something that would compete in a horror film festival, but here you go!

On Tuesday 25th of April, beginning at 2 pm, screening at the Nuovo Teatro delle Commedie in my beloved Leghorn!

Another last minute selection for “Dignity” that is nominated again! I am SO happy!

At the end of march we will se how it goes for it at the Belgian Moving Pictures Film Festival of Kalmthout!

Despite the fact that Dignity has already been competing for over one year and a half, it still happens that it is selected for a festival!

This time is the Audience Awards, and if you would like to vote for it, you can scroll down and find it on this page, thank you!

You know this by now: for many reasons, I hold this short film very very close to my heart. This is why I still send it to some selected festivals, like the UK Screen One film Festival. And I am really elated when is goes to a final like in this case!

Anyone in Newark for the Women in Media film festival on April 6? 🙂
If you are, check out my video invitation for the screening of my film “Dignity”!

Well well, life is really funny sometimes! All of a sudden, in the span of only one week, right when the Daniel Karlsson Trio is in Italy for a tour that I have organized, the “Cowboy Song” video is selected for the thrid time!!

This so just sooo amusing! Let’s hope it goes well at the Sochi Film Festival in Russia!

This is a real funny coincidence! Right when I am managing a tour all over Italy for the Daniel Karlsson Trio, the first video I made for the band three years ago gets selected for two festival within a few days!

This time it is the turn of the World Wide Virtual Film Festival!

I am always very glad when “Midsommar” gets selected to a festival, especially when its profile is a bit beyond the usual stereotypes, as in the case of the Fincortex – Festival Internacional De Cortometrajes Experimentales.
