Più vivo di cosi non sarò mai

1985 • 13 min

Through the reading of some of Sandro Penna's poems a boy, as if by magic, visually “relives” some of them, as if he were the Poet himself. A tribute to Sandro Penna, this short film, also dedicated to the "solar" beauty of these guys, immortalized by the poet's lyrics in time and space (in fact they will always be there and so, even between 10, 100, 1000 years). A tribute to purity, to the simplicity of unspoken things... to the beauty of images stolen from the monotony of the real world. In short, an attempt, through his unwitting complicity, to make a film-poem to dedicate to him.

La preda

1985 • 10 min

Each of us, sentimentally speaking, has happened to have been at least once in our life, either a hunter or a prey, perhaps even without his knowledge. But what is the best role or simply the most convenient one at any given moment is difficult to establish. Sometimes it can even happen to be both, or to start off as hunters, only to find "prey". Of course, however, the opposite can also happen. Continuing undeterred in the territory of the desecration of pre-established roles, this time we have targeted (always with irony) another stereotype, that is, that which attributes to the woman the role of enemy, or at least antagonist of the homosexual.
