We got a Los Angeles Premiere at the "Culver City Film Festival," on Dec 9th, 2018 in a state of the art movie theater. We were honored to be included in a group of very interesting shorts, live-action and animation, all different for topic and style. Sandro Carotti (the voice over) came to the screening. We had a full audience who showed a sincere appreciation for us, and a surprise to receive the "Audience Award for Best Short Animation!"
<br>
But that's not the end of the good news...In fact, a few days earlier we had received the notice of a great award in a renown experimental festival, the "Black Maria Film Festival," which is bringing compelling stories and unique experimental films all over the country since 35 years! I'm delighted to announce that "Lo Sguardo Italiano - The Italian Gaze" was awarded the "Director's Choice Award at Black Maria Film Festival 2019", and will tour with great films next year! It's time to celebrate all this success, and here's some photos for you.

Il 2018 volge al termine, e "Lo Sguardo Italiano" sta avendo un'esplosione di notorietà e successo, che abbiamo salutato con gioia! Abbiamo avuto una prima a Los Angeles, al Culver City Film Festival, lo scorso 9 dicembre 2018, in una nuova multisala. Siamo stati onorati di essere inclusi in un programma di cortometraggi molto interessanti, sia d'animazione che di cinema dal vero, tutti diversi per tema e approccio cinematografico. Sandro Carotti (la voce del film) è venuto alla presentazione. La sala era piena, e il pubblico ha mostrato un sincero apprezzamento per noi, sorprendendoci con un premio per il miglior corto d'animazione- "Audience Award for Best Short Animation"!
<br>
Ma le buone notizie non finiscono qui... Infatti, pochi giorni prima, avevamo ricevuto la notifica di un premio importante da un festival di film sperimentali molto conosciuto, il "Black Maria Film Festival", che da ben 35 anni porta in tour per tutti gli Stati Uniti film che trattano temi impegnati e opere sperimentali! Sono felice di annunciare che "Lo Sguardo Italiano" è stato premiato con il "Director's Choice Award at Black Maria Film Festival 2019", e sarà in tour l'anno prossimo insieme ad altri notevoli film! È ora di celebrare questi successi, e allego un po' di foto per voi qui sopra.Sandro Del Rosariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148675904966302063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621942211620308423.post-14644267051323065652018-10-17T17:31:00.000-07:002018-10-17T17:31:00.452-07:00Updates on Festivals and screenings - Gli aggiornamenti su Festival e rassegneA few things worth a mention happened over the Summer and at the beginning of the Fall 2018, so here's the update!
Lo Sguardo Italiano - The Italian Gaze was selected to be included in a special animation festival at the Aggregate Gallery in Oakland, CA. We went at the opening, and it was fun to see the film projected in a group of "narrative" films. Amazingly enough, the audience decided to give us an award for Best in Show!!! After that, the film has been an official selection of Rome Independent Cinema Festival in Italy and of Blow-Up Arthouse International Film Festival in Chicago, Illinois. Closing this parade of good news, Lo Sguardo Italiano - The Italian Gaze is part of a lovely screening put together by Eric Rittatore for the View Fest in Torino, Italy, on and around the theme of "Migrations and Memory."Quoting Rittatore: "A reflection as personal as universal on feeling exiled and split inside does habit the suggestive 'animated painting' by Sandro Del Rosario." Thank you, Eric! We are thrilled to be included in this program.

Durante la scorsa estate e l'inizio del presente autunno 2018 sono successe un po' di cose che vale la pena di raccontare, eccovi l'aggiornamento!
Lo Sguardo Italiano è stato selezionato in una rassegna speciale d'animazione alla Aggregate Gallery a Oakland, in California. Noi siamo stati presenti all'inaugurazione, ed è stato interessante vedere il film proiettato insieme ad un gruppo di cortometraggi nella sezione "narrativa". Fatto straordinario, il pubblico ha deciso di premiarci come Best in Show (Miglior corto della rassegna)!!! Dopodiché, il film è stato selezionato ufficialmente dal Rome Independent Cinema Festival, a Roma, e poi dal Blow-Up Arthouse International Film Festival a Chicago, in Illinois. Chiude questa rassegna di buone notizie quella che Lo Sguardo Italiano è parte di un bellissimo programma curato da Eric Rittatore per il View Festival di Torino, sul tema "Migrazione e Memoria." Scrive Rittatore: "La riflessione tanto personale quanto universale sul ritrovarsi esuli e divisi a metà permea il suggestivo 'dipinto animato' di Sandro Del Rosario". Grazie, Eric! Siamo felicissimi di essere inclusi in questo bel programma.

Fa sempre piacere ricevere un premio!I'm delighted to announce that <i>Lo Sguardo Italiano (The Italian Gaze)</i> was among the 1% short films chosen among 1,500 submission for a screening at the <b>51st Worlfest- Houston International Film Festival</b>, one of the oldest festivals for independent films! It was already a pleasure to watch the film projected in its gorgeous DCP theatrical format, and get the compliments and questions from the audience. But then we also got an award, whooo-hooo!!! A sleek <b>Platinum Remi Award</b> for the short film subject, animated (clay and other techniques) category. It was exciting to be in a truly international festival, with filmmakers coming all the way from India, China, South Africa, and Europe among the others. Here a few pics where I share the "glory" with Francesco Paladino, the platinum award winning Italian director of "Accordions", a feature length documentary that was projected together with my film.

Sono felice di annunciare che Lo Sguardo Italiano è rientrato nell'1% di cortometraggi selezionati tra i circa 1500 inviati per una proiezione al <b>51mo Worldfest - Houston International Film Festival</b>, uno dei più antichi e rinomati festival per il film indipendente! Non solo è stato un puro piacere ammirare il film proiettato su grande schermo nel formato DCP e ricevere i complimenti e le domande del pubblico, ma abbiamo pure ricevuto un premio!!! Un prezioso <b>Platinum Remi Award</b> nella categoria cortometraggi d'animazione con tecniche alternative. È stato esaltante essere parte di un festival veramente internazionale, con registi e autori provenienti dall'India, dalla Cina, dal Sud Africa e dall'Europa tra gli altri paesi. Ecco a voi un po' di foto, dove mi vedrete in compagnia del regista italiano Francesco Paladino, anche lui onorato con un platino nella sua categoria per il film documentario <i>Fisarmoniche (Accordions)</i>, proiettato insieme al mio film nello stesso programma.Sandro Del Rosariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148675904966302063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621942211620308423.post-69506690880112959502017-09-16T03:48:00.000-07:002017-09-16T03:48:57.790-07:00The great crowd at the opening for the solo show in Pescara! Grande folla partecipa all'inaugurazione della personale a Pescara!The opening of the solo show dedicated to "The Italian Gaze", at the Fondazione Pescarabruzzo, on Sep 9 2017, has been a memorable event! A selected crowd of friends and relatives, local authorities, and art lovers gathered in the beautiful gallery of the Fondazione, in my home town Pescara. After the ceremonial cut of the ribbon, we moved to the preliminary introductions, including an historical overview on animation in Italy by the film and animation historian Marco Bellano, highlighting affinities and differences between Italy and the rest of the world. Then "The Italian Gaze" was projected on a big screen, and the audience responded with an overwhelming long applause! A Q&A with me and with Bellano followed the screening; I was impressed by the quantity and the quality of the comments/questions I received. It felt really special to introduce my work in my home town!

L'inaugurazione della mostra personale dedicata a "Lo Sguardo Italiano" il 9 settembre 2017 alla Fondazione Pescarabruzzo è stato un evento memorabile! Un folla selezionata di parenti, amici, autorità locali e amanti dell'arte, si è riunita nella bella galleria della Fondazione, nella mia città natale, a Pescara. Dopo il tradizionale taglio del nastro, siamo passati alle introduzioni preliminari, inclusa una panoramica storica sul cinema d'animazione in Italia, offerta dallo storico del cinema Marco Bellano, che ha sottolineato le affinità e le differenze dell'Italia rispetto al resto del mondo. A seguire, c'è stata la proiezione de "Lo Sguardo Italiano" su grande schermo, a cui il pubblico ha risposto con un lunghissimo applauso! Un dibattito con il sottoscritto, Bellano e le persone presenti in sala è seguito alla proiezione; la quantità e la qualità degli interventi è stata impressionante. È stato veramente speciale introdurre il mio lavoro nella mia città natale!

We were welcomed by a warm audience, in a great historical setting, and a surprise "Special mention" given from the festival with this motivation: "In his film Sandro Del Rosario conveys the feelings about his native country through thousands of hand painted photos. <i>Lo Sguardo Italiano</i> is a tribute to the beauty of our country, a true poem given the images, the movement, the sound, and the words."

Agosto ha visto protagonista <i>Lo Sguardo Italiano</i> con la prima internazionale che si e' svolta al festival di Immaginaria 2017, nella bellissima cittadina di Conversano, in provincia di Bari. Siamo stati accolti da un pubblico caloroso, in una cornice storica di prestigio, e da una "Menzione speciale" data dal festival a sorpresa, con la seguente motivazione: "Sandro Del Rosario riesce a restituire al pubblico attraverso l'animazione di migliaia di fotografie dipinte ad olio il sentimento verso il suo paese d'origine. <i>Lo Sguardo Italiano</i> e' un tributo alla bellezza del nostro paese, una vera poesia rese immagine, movimento, suono e parola".Sandro Del Rosariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148675904966302063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621942211620308423.post-18755473579038618012017-03-17T13:51:00.000-07:002017-03-17T13:51:52.573-07:00First award at the Richmond International Film Festival!I'm delighted to share the news with all the fans of "Lo Sguardo Italiano - The Italian Gaze": the film got the award as "Best of Festival" in the Experimental Short category!

"Lo Sguardo Italiano - The Italian Gaze" had its World Premiere at the Denver International Film Festival, last November 2016. It was an optimal quality screening in a big theater; some of my dearest friends in Colorado were attending, and at the Q&A the audience responded very warmly to the film.
I also had a wonderful time introducing the work to the students and faculty at the University of Denver! It was great to have them gathering around, discussing thoughts and process. You can see some photos here.

"Lo Sguardo Italiano - The Italian Gaze"ha avuto la sua Prima Mondiale al Denver International Film Festival, lo scorso novembre 2016. La proiezione al cinema e' stata di ottima qualità; in sala c'erano alcuni tra i miei più cari amici del Colorado, e al dibattito finale il pubblico ha risposto calorosamente con molte domande. Inoltre ho avuto l'opportunità di presentare il lavoro agli studenti e ai professori dell'università di Denver; è stato fantastico averli attorno per discutere delle idee e del metodo di lavoro! Ecco a voi alcune foto.

This is one of the perks of being an artist, when you finally have the time and the space for it: you can live, breathe, exist, and fill the bliss of simply making your art. You don't need anything else. This is what I felt working on this last stretch of post-production for "Lo Sguardo Italiano". I immersed myself into the colors first, for months, and then into the sound that I had imagined for those colors...I can't wait to share the results with my audience, but it might still take a while...So, please, accept a few, last pics in lieu of the actual film, and one "selfie" of me with the actor who lent his beautiful, warm and expressive voice for my poem: Sandro Carotti!
<br><br>
Che bello avere la fortuna di potermi immergere nel mio lavoro! È uno dei doni speciali dell'essere un artista, quando finalmente hai il tempo e lo spazio per farlo: puoi vivere, respirare, esistere, e provare beatitudine semplicemente nel creare la tua arte. Non hai bisogno di nient'altro. Questo è quello che ho sentito mentre lavoravo alle ultime fasi della post-produzione per "Lo Sguardo Italiano". Mi sono immerso dapprima completamente nei colori, per mesi, e poi nel suono che ho immaginato per quei colori...Non vedo l'ora di condividere i risultati con il mio pubblico, ma ci potrebbe volere ancora un po'... Quindi, per favore, accettate qualche ultima fotografia al posto del film, e un "selfie" con l'attore che ha prestato la sua voce bella, calda ed espressiva per la mia poesia: Sandro Carotti!

This desk symbolically traveled with me for 11 years all over the places, in the U.S. as well as in Italy. I have just completed the coloring of all my images of "Lo Sguardo Italiano"! It's a milestone moment, and I celebrate it with you here, while I keep about 5,245 pictures safe in my cabinet...
<br><br>
Non riesco a descrivere a parole la gioia che provo nel guardare alla mia scrivania finalmente pulita; dovete capire che per anni è stata ricoperta di pastelli ad olio che si frantumavano, molte carte, e un piccolo cavalletto da tavolo. Questa scrivania ha viaggiato simbolicamente con me dappertutto per 11 anni, sia negli Stati Uniti che in Italia. Ho appena completato la colorazione di tutte le immagini de "Lo Sguardo Italiano". È un momento storico, e mi piace celebrarlo qui con voi, mentre metto al sicuro nell'armadietto tutte le immagini, sono circa 5,245...

The act of looking in detail, searching for unwanted signs, dust specs and anything that I felt didn't belong to the original image has revealed a new world to me, different and related to the one I used to know, a world of painterly abstraction, which renewed my bond to those colors. At the same time the long hours spent on the task drove me straight into another abstraction, into the meditative nature of thoughts...

Da settembre fino a pochi giorni fa ho trascorso le mie ore pulendo le immagini precedentemente riprese in alta definizione, un compito che sicuramente è tedioso, ma che mi ha dato l'opportunità di osservare da molto vicino i miei pastelli ad olio. L'atto stesso di guardare in dettaglio, cercando segni estranei, granelli di polvere e qualsiasi cosa sentissi non appartenere all'originale mi ha rivelato un mondo nuovo, diverso ma collegato a quello che già conoscevo, un mondo di astrazione pittorica, che ha rinnovato il legame che sento per quei colori. Allo stesso tempo, tutte le ore spese nell'eseguire questo compito mi hanno portato direttamente ad un'altra astrazione, quella meditativa dei pensieri....

It was an unprecedented success for an experimental, unique, artistic, personal animated film. Thanks to those funds I was able to work continuously and full-time on the film from January throughout August 2015, making a substantial progress on all fronts. There are still a few months of work ahead before "Lo Sguardo Italiano" will see the light of a projector, but today I want to thank one more time that beautiful crowd of supporters; without you guys I wouldn't be here!

Esattamente un anno fa ho lanciato una campagna crowdsourcing per "Lo Sguardo Italiano", e una folla fantastica di amici e di fans ha fatto il resto, in pratica un miracolo: $26,048 raccolti in un mese, di cui solo la metà durante la prima settimana! E' stato un successo senza precedenti per un film d'animazione sperimentale, unico, artistico e personale. Grazie a quei fondi sono stato in grado di lavorare continuativamente e a tempo pieno al film da gennaio fino ad agosto 2015, facendo grossi passi avanti su tutti i fronti. Rimangono ancora un po' di mesi di lavoro prima che "Lo Sguardo Italiano" possa vedere la luce di un proiettore, ma oggi voglio ringraziare ancora una volta quella bella folla di sostenitori; senza di voi non sarei qui!

I listened to the silence of the starry sky, to the call of the animals, to the subtle presence of a relaxing landscape. I shared the warmth of great conversations with a group of inspiring artists and writers, and mostly I worked hard at my film in my beautiful, big studio, completing two scenes, and beginning to edit a sound track. Thank you, Ucross!

Ho trascorso un mese in questo posto meraviglioso, ospite della Fondazione Ucross, in Wyoming. Ho ascoltato il silenzio del cielo stellato, il richiamo degli animali, la presenza discreta di un paesaggio rilassante. Ho condiviso il calore delle conversazioni con un gruppo di artisti e di scrittori che mi hanno ispirato, e soprattutto ho lavorato alacremente al mio film nel mio studio spazioso e bello, completando due scene e iniziando il montaggio alla colonna sonora. Grazie, Ucross!

We are already in the middle of the film, looking close at statues, and one in particular is holding something that will be revealing. A mix of emotions is wrapping my head at this point, but I can't tell you more, it will have to be discovered...
<br><br>
Al ritorno da due mesi di permanenza in Italia dove avevo sistemato temporaneamente un piccolo tavolo da lavoro, ho finalmente completato circa 200 immagini che avevo iniziato a colorare proprio quando ero lì sul posto. Ci troviamo già a più o meno a metà del film, mentre guardiamo da vicino a delle statue, e una in particolare ha in mano qualcosa che sarà importante. Un insieme di emozioni si affollano nella mia testa, ma non posso dire di più, sarà tutto da scoprire...

But there is an indirect human presence behind everything that is seen and contemplated in the film. I didn't want to be specific or confined to a specific time...Italian's history spans over thousands of years, and we are only its present actors.
<br><br>
Questa è l'ultima scena che ho completato nel 2014, ed è una delle poche in cui vediamo delle persone, intendo una rappresentazione esplicita di persone che si muovono in uno spazio. Ma c'è una presenza umana dietro tutto quello che si vede e si contempla nel film. Non sono voluto scendere nei dettagli o pensare ad un epoca specifica...La storia Italiana attraversa i millenni, e noi siamo solo gli attori del presente.

<br><br>
What is our past telling us? Is there anything useful to the present we can decipher from the thousands of years that preceded us? How do we cope with a present that seems so different, so forgetful of the past legacy, doomed to be destroyed by human nature? These are some of the questions I ask to myself every time I look at some of the masterpieces of Italian art. Whether it's from two thousands or from two hundreds years ago, what matters to me it's that we still have it as a witness of what has been there before us. I'm fascinated by these roman statues, for example. Looking at them, they seemed alive; some of the faces had features that I thought I would find in people I have met. The depth of history moves me beyond words.
<br><br>
Di che cosa ci parla il nostro passato? C'è qualcosa di utile per il presente che possiamo decifrare dai migliaia di anni che ci hanno preceduto? Come possiamo scendere a patti con un presente che sembra così diverso, così dimentichevole dell'eredità passata, condannato ad essere distrutto dalla natura umana? Queste sono alcune delle domande che mi faccio ogni volta che guardo uno dei capolavori dell'arte Italiana. Non importa che sia di duemila anni o di duecento anni fa, quello che è rilevante è che ce l'abbiamo davanti come testimone di quello che c'è stato prima di noi. Sono affascinato da queste statue romane, per esempio. Mi sembrano vive quando le guardo; alcuni volti hanno i lineamenti che mi è sembrato di ritrovare nelle persone che ho incontrato. La profondità della storia mi commuove al di là delle parole.

I just completed several passes on this scene, 170 frames in total. Often people remark how beautiful are these images, and of course I'm pleased to hear it. I'm moved and inspired by beauty, and my native country is the first beauty I have encountered. But I wonder if people really understand what's behind them, all the thoughts, all the feelings, all the layers of history that shaped those images and the recollection of memories that I share with you all through these images… That's what my film is about. It's way more than a pretty homage to landscapes, and hopefully it will convey this complexity when it will be finished, edited, completed in its multimedia, multi-sensorial format (vision and sound). For now you all need to use your imagination, and let that fly along the wing of curiosity, expectation and wonder…
<br><br>
Ho appena finito numerosi passaggi su una scena composta di 170 fotogrammi. Spesso la gente commenta sulla bellezza di queste immagini, e naturalmente ne sono lusingato. Sono il primo ad essere ispirato dalla bellezza, e il mio paese natale e' stata la prima bellezza che ho conosciuto. Ma mi chiedo se le persone comprendano veramente cosa c'e' dietro quelle immagini, tutti i pensieri, i sentimenti, tutti gli strati della storia che le formano e il richiamo delle memorie che condivido con tutti voi attraverso di loro…E' proprio questa l'anima del mio film. E' molto di piu' di un bell'omaggio ai paesaggi, e spero che dimostrerà questa complessità nel suo formato finale, quando sarà montato e completato come opera multimediale, multi-sensoriale (video e il suono). Per ora vi chiedo di usare la vostra immaginazione, e lasciare che essa voli sulle ali della curiosità, dell'attesa e del dubbio...

<br />
Through the eyes of an Italian artist who emigrated in the United States THE ITALIAN GAZE portrays the "intoxicating" beauty of Italy, what many visitors still get looking at its landscapes and at thousands years of history, Art and Architecture, as well as denounces the profound moral and cultural decay in contemporary Italian life. Both extremes breathe in this authentic, original and challenging time based art work.<br />
<br />
THE ITALIAN GAZE has been supported through fellowships and residency programs since its first conception, in 2005, and its beginning marked my journey as an Italian immigrant in the United States. In this website you can find highlighted the milestones of this unique adventure. There are more than 5,000 images to be completed for this project, and we wish the project could see the light before the end of the 2016!<br />

<br />
LO SGUARDO ITALIANO è un'opera d'arte e un film indipendentemente prodotto, unico nel suo genere, creato con centinaia di immagini colorate con i pastelli ad olio, poi riprese con il cinema d'animazione a passo uno.<br />
<br />
Attraverso gli occhi di un artista italiano emigrato negli Stati Uniti, LO SGUARDO ITALIANO vuole rappresentare la bellezza contagiosa dell'Italia, un'esperienza comune ai molti visitatori quando ammirano il paesaggio e migliaia di anni di storia, arte e architettura, e allo stesso tempo denunciare la profonda decadenza morale e culturale dell'Italia contemporanea. Questi due estremi convivono in maniera autentica in questo lavoro di video d'arte complesso e originale.<br />
<br />
LO SGUARDO ITALIANO ha ricevuto il supporto di borse e residenze per artisti fin dalla sua concezione, nel 2005, e il suo inizio è coinciso con il mio secondo viaggio da emigrante italiano negli Stati Uniti. In questo sito potete trovare il resoconto di questo viaggio affascinante. Servono più di 5,000 immagini per completare questo progetto, e ci auguriamo che veda la luce prima della fine del 2016!Sandro Del Rosariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148675904966302063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621942211620308423.post-87172845556249790762014-03-20T23:40:00.000-07:002014-04-13T23:43:22.701-07:00Making a lot of progress - Tanti bei progressiFinally I'm working full-time on this film again! It does feel wonderful, after so many interruption, so many months of hiatus, jobs, moves and so on. The life of an independent artist is not easy! But this post is for those who feared of not seeing this work completed; instead it's happening, and better than ever! So stay tuned for many more news to come. Here's a few pics from the most recent production.<br />
----------<br />
Finalmente sto lavorando di nuovo a tempo pieno su questo film! E' meraviglioso poterlo fare, dopo tantissime interruzioni, mesi di pausa forzata, lavori vari, traslochi, e così via. La vita di un artista indipendente non e' facile! Ma questo post e' per colore che hanno temuto di non vedere questo progetto completato: invece sarà fatto, e meglio che mai! Quindi restate sintonizzati per molte altre notizie. Ecco qui un po' di immagini dalla recente produzione.<br />

It's nice to know that they're leaving welcomed in a different space other than my studio. Postcards of the group of the two group shows are below.<br />
<br />
Sono felicissimo di condividere la notizia: alcune immagini da "Lo Sguardo Italiano" sono state parte di mostre collettive negli Stati Uniti. E' bello sapere che abbiano lasciato il mio studio per essere accolte in uno spazio diverso. Qui sotto potete ammirare le cartoline delle due mostre a cui ho partecipato.<br />

Between 2009 and 2011 hundreds of images have been painted in my Los Angeles studio , memories of places that now were far aways, yet still very present in my mind as well as in my heart.<br />

Centinaia di nuove immagini sono state dipinte nel mio studio di Los Angeles tra il 2009 e il 2011, memorie di luoghi ora lontani, eppure sempre molto presenti nella mia mente e nel mio cuore.Sandro Del Rosariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148675904966302063noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621942211620308423.post-20762544799389049012008-10-03T00:25:00.000-07:002014-04-13T21:09:57.541-07:00The Red Sea in Santa Fe - Il Mar Rosso a Santa Fe<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--6O2-Yvd-mA/U0socwBJKPI/AAAAAAAAAiI/GgHGlPYe6IU/s1600/IMG_0094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--6O2-Yvd-mA/U0socwBJKPI/AAAAAAAAAiI/GgHGlPYe6IU/s1600/IMG_0094.JPG" height="241" width="320" /></a>

At the Santa Fe Art Institute THE ITALIAN GAZE could finally breathe the air and the colors again. Surrounded by white walls, I had to let the red and the black taking over my frames, until there was no room for anything else.<br />
These two months have been the last time I could work on my film. They seem so far away right now....But not that Red Sea, that water that brings sorrow, anger, and blood. An ancient truth is written on the stones. It's just waiting to be revealed, as soon as I will be able to touch it again.<br />
-------------------------<br />
LO SGUARDO ITALIANO ha potuto finalmente vedere la luce e i colori durante un soggiorno al Santa Fe Art Institute. Circondato da muri bianchi, ho lasciato che il rosso e il nero prendessero piede nelle mie immagini fino a che non c'è stato spazio per nient'altro.<br />
I due mesi trascorsi allo SFAI sono stati gli ultimi in cui ho potuto lavorare al film a tempo pieno. Ora sembrano così lontani nel tempo…Ma non certo quel Mar Rosso, quell'acqua che porta con sé dolore, rabbia e sangue… Antiche verità sono scolpite nei sassi. Aspettano solo di venire scoperte, non appena sarò in grado di rimettere le mani sul mio lavoro.Sandro Del Rosariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148675904966302063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621942211620308423.post-42306411791278360152008-10-02T21:34:00.000-07:002014-04-13T17:34:35.950-07:00The magic of Bogliasco - La magia di Bogliasco<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SFcHyMGmBnA/SOXNVJ09UxI/AAAAAAAAATw/tXvfIkl2bbU/s1600-h/cutting1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SFcHyMGmBnA/SOXNVJ09UxI/AAAAAAAAATw/tXvfIkl2bbU/s200/cutting1.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252830303696540434" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;" /></a><br />

As magic as only dreams can be, Bogliasco affected my work profoundly again.<br />
I spent a month collecting memories and newspapers, emotions and disappointments, walking and thinking. I spent a month watching the silver line on the horizon, the endless blue of the sea, and my ideas getting a more defined shape every day....Here there is a glimpse of what it has been.<br />
--------------------<br />
Nei mesi di Novembre e Dicembre 2007 sono stato ospite per la seconda volta del Liguria Centro Studi per le Arti e le Lettere, a Bogliasco, in Liguria. Proprio come nei sogni più magici, Bogliasco ha di nuovo avuto una profonda influenza sul mio lavoro.<br />
Ho trascorso un mese collezionando ricordi e giornali, emozioni e delusioni, passeggiate e riflessioni. Ho speso un mese ammirando l'orizzonte d'argento, l'infinito blu del mare, e le mie idee piano piano hanno preso corpo giorno dopo giorno….Ecco un assaggio di quello che è accaduto.Sandro Del Rosariohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148675904966302063noreply@blogger.com
