“Dignity” wins the “Città di Lecce” award at the Lecce Film Festival!

Posted on by

I am SO HAPPY!!! “Dignity” won the “Città di Lecce” award at the Lecce Film Fest! In the photo taken from the piece published on AffariItaliani.it, Nicola Neto, co-organizer of the festival with Ornella Striani, receives the prize for me from the hands of Paolo Perrore, Lecce’s Mayor. The prize, assigned by Luigi Coclite, Culture and Tourism City Councillor, is a paper-mâché sculpture representing a detail of the façade of the Santa Croce Cathedral in Lecce, made by the artist Carmen Rampino. I couldn’t be happier!!

“Dignity” selected for the grand Istanbul Filmmor Festival!

I believe that the logo of this Turkish festival dedicated to women directors by itself says so much about me and what I stand for, that I need no words to express how happy and moved I am for having been selected for it.

The Filmmor Festival is rich with ideas, energy and beauty: all that the girls represented in the film possess. I am sincerely hoping to be able to attend in person, it is what the girls deserve!

 

My latest video: “A Sweet Fall” for Andrea Chimenti

Posted on by

I am elated to announce that my video for Andrea Chimenti – “A Sweet Fall”- is finally out! We shot it quite some time ago, but the album came out only a few months back. This is the second single taken from this beautiful work, and the only one in English. In fact, not only did I make the video, but I also wrote the lyrics!
Andrea Chimenti is one of the greatest kings of the Italian indie scene with a very long career that begun in the early ’80s. If his name sounds familiar to you, it is probably due to his single “I have waited for you” written and sung with David Sylvian.
