Experiencing Interruptions?

SMILE BIANCA!

In "Smile Bianca!" I am using an anthropological-like approach. I ask a couple of elders (my grandparents) to kiss.
After a few clumsy attempts, I interview them briefly.
Meaningful hints of reflection emerge from their instinctive and ironic answers.

Director Statement

I started my artistic career as a photographer and performer. Then I put myself in front of my camera too. Becoming subject of my own work gave me great energy, I got on the stage. It was the performative aspect of contemporary photography that I like that led to me to love cinema.
Nowadays I bring on my research through videoart, cinema and documentaries.
Cinema and contemporary art, my two passions, penetrate and nourish each other becoming reciprocally indispensable.
