Why We Need Artists and Filmmakers More Than Ever During the Pandemic

“It’s something I’ve thought about quite a bit; the political responsibility of a filmmaker. And being a person of color who grew up not being a person of color in their country, I think my thoughts on the matter might be very specific. I think the one and only responsibility of an artist is to be truthful to themselves. Am I telling the truth?”

Versatile Actress Explores Mental Health, Sense of Home and Feminism in Her Art

"The only thing that really stayed constant in my life was my passion for the stage. My mom said that before I was born I used to kick to the beat of the music they were listening to. I don't know if that's true, but I like to believe it is. I struggle a lot with my identity because wherever I am it feels like I am a little different than everyone. In New York, well it is also the same, except that there is no one kind of people to adjust to. You are not really supposed to feel like you are from anywhere in particular. I wouldn’t necessarily say that New York feels like home or that I am settled here, but it feels like I can be myself comfortably. " - Giorgia Valenti

Insights of Mario Martone into his Historical Drama “Capri Revolution”

"I always enjoy going on a journey into the unknown, discovering things along the way through working with the actors and the crew. When I make a film about a different time period I always relate it to the present. It is inevitable since I am a man living in 2019, so my perspective will always be influenced by the present. I am interested in how things that were important at that time can still be alive today." - Mario Martone

“Piranhas”, a Twisted Coming of Age: Interview with Claudio Giovannesi

"The story is about a boy who learns what is good and what is bad. His intentions are noble, but in the context he lives in there is no possibility of doing good. I did not want to make a film about criminals. I wanted to show the innocence - a film about your son, your brother. We have empathy with them." - Director Claudio Giovannesi.

“Twin Flower”: A Strikingly Sad Portrayal of Innocence by Laura Luchetti

"Less is more. Simplicity is difficult to achieve. We had to take out a lot. It was their first time as actors and my first time directing non-actors. It was based on trust. They trusted me a lot. We worked a lot. It was not easy. But we were always very clear minded. There were no tricks or whimsical choices to look smarter or better. It was very honest, as you said (Laura Luchetti)."

"I was looking for the simplest way to serve the story and to arrive at the core of the scene. That is what is important to me. The story is a character driven and I worked with non-professional actors, so I was influenced a lot by my actors (Federico Bondi)."
