“Impressio in-urbe” examines the textures of urban space: the materiality of the architectures, corners and perspectives, the designs of the pavements, the squares, the bricks; it is a detailed decomposition of the “layer” of the city, from which arises the unstructured matter, apparently immovable but in continuous connection, over the centuries, inhabited by its multitude. “Impressio” is the impression, the imprint that leaves all things and gestures, the robot portrait (and vivisection) of the space and time of the city, which gives us back its perspective”.

“The documentary aims to serve as an expressive space and representation of a historic garden, setting of several realities over time and expression of desires and imaginations, interweaving personal, social and political interrelations. As for the historic garden, it is considered a monument and tries to reflect the aesthetic, spatial and temporal dimensions of memory, knowledge, power, wealth, giving it a cultural behavior and identity as a counterpoint to globalization in a large metropolis”.

“The path to paradise begins in hell” – Dante Alighieri. Based loosely on Dante’s Divine Comedy, The Divine Way takes viewers through the epic descent of the protagonist through an endless labyrinth of stairs. As the woman travels more, the stairs mutate and she is trapped and attracted to her dangerous landscape, taking us through more than fifty magnificent locations.”
