“To a filmmaker a movie is like a son, it is always the result of an act of love, a cinematographic orgasm”
was a man who saw cinema as an intimate act: . After graduating in sciences from Padua, the Veronese filmmaker fell hard for the arts in the electric energy of the 60s, and soon found himself at the centre of Italy’s neo-avant-garde, drinking with the Novissimi poets and directing the literary section of the Enne Studio.
Although many of the films were created in reaction to events at the time of their creation, the themes of sexual liberation, consumerism and pollution ache with contemporary resonance. One particularly poignant work explores the impact of setting on emotion: two naked figures stand in the wilderness, a modern Adam and Eve in a barren Eden.
