Recovered video: “Greetings”
originally uploaded to Vimeo on October 25th, 2006
Some found postcards showing bits of someone’s family life, affections and acquaintances.
This feels like watching someone else living his/her own life.
Please note: the spoken words read the original texts found on the postcards, with a heavy Chinese accent. Written words are the English translations.
I wish dedicate this to a dear friend who last night suffered a deep loss.
A short video I made from an idea I had with my friend/then colleague Marco Biondi using some found postcards thrown away but somehow escaped from destruction.
This is by far yet my favourite short video.
Thanks to my friend Shu-Chun for her endless patience - the Italian voiceover was not easy for her but eventually I succeeded in editing the way I wanted it.

Recovered shots are a selection of materials I previously posted on the web that I consider worth of further exposure.
While the first part of my new short film is being edited, and I can’t wait to see what our editor comes up with; while yet loads of shooting have to take place for the next epsiode, and I can’t wait to put my next actor in front of the camera…
This tiny pill depicts one very bright moment of my personal life.
Taken and edited with my iPhone4.

Event: Ale Di Gangi guest at GGDToscana4
I have been invited as one of the guests for the 4th Tuscan GirlGeekDinner in Firenze on Saturday October 4th.
I am definitely thrilled to intervene and would like to thank the girls who so kindly invited me to talk about my experiences on Lomography, iPhoneography, videos and so on.
The event is open to girls only, and further details for signing up for the evening are about to be officially announced. If you are in Tuscany that day, you really should be there!

Lorenzo plays for me and he thinks I’m taking the photo he asked me to take.
But I was filming.
Investigation of citizens above all suspicions
the 2008 short film I co-directed with my friend Cristiano Malvenuti has been screened again yesterday at the La Cité Libreriacafé in Firenze.
After almost 3 years since the making I am still moved by an audience heartily laughing and applauding while watching it.
Thankyou to all those who were there!

The last fine day of the season
First experiment of video totally done on an iPhone 4.
Take it as a little tiny bit of a memory and nothing else; it was a rather lovely day for us.
