Video

Here I present, in rotation, some of the videos I made​​,  among those published on the network channels on YouTube and Vimeo

In Il TG della notte (The Night TV News) and Como se hace un vídeo (How to make a video), the shots are almost entirely (Cagliari, 2010) or largely (Havana 2007) made ​​by children. What happens is that, given very few basic guidelines, children, even those who have never held a camera in hand, very easily recover their television latent knowledge and apply it not to see - as they did with passion from their early childhood - but to make television. For the rest, give free rein to the most characteristic of their culture and representation of the world: playing!

Many years ago I was studying cinema and my friends, maybe to kid me, were saying I should be become a great director.. Things actually went different, though in the shelves in my room I have some Super 8 spools and dozens of amateur videos  made during the years.

I also made  some "serious" ones, which for the most part, however, have so far had poor circulation:

1995. Le scuole materne comunali a Brescia (28’20”). Based on amateur material, it was set up working with a professional editor, published by the direction of the nursery school of Brescia and in practice never distributed.

1999, Appunti per un videofilm sul Centro per l'Integrazione Scolastica e la Piena Realizzazione dei Non Vedenti di Brescia (28’30”). Half-professional video on the Brescia blind institute, made with  Alberto Lorica.

2003, Il sentiero dell'irrigazione (The Path of Irrigation - 10’10”). Between Iseo Lake and Cremona countryside, I carried out this didactic video, from an idea of  Stefano Loffi, wih "Consorzio per l'incremento dell'irrigazione nei territori Cremonesi", Coop Lombardia, AEM , Comune di Cremona, digital editing by Alberto Lorica.

2005,  Il mago antico è come mia sorella?  (The ancient Wizard , is he like my Sister? - 27’27”) A story invented and acted by the children of a 5^ elementary class. For the first time I "directed actors" and managed directly digital video editing.

2005, Concittadini inaspettati (Unexpected Fellow Citizens - 20’50”) From the experience of “animazione” in environment with 400 children of the primary schools in Brescia, discovering insects and small animals in the garden of their schools: macro shots and “live” commentaries buy the little discoverers.

2006, La memoria, testimonianze di vita e di lavoro nel cremonese. (The Memory, testimonies of work and life in the land of Cremona - 31’10”). Re-editing for Coop Lombardia of the series of 7 videos by Eros Mauroner.

2007, La Cruzada Teatral (61’50”). The first video in the world on  the "expedition" that, by 1991, each year brings the theatre to the mountain region of Guantanamo. Some chapters are also published on YouTube, with subtitles. (File)
