Cinema / Interview with director Paola Randi

In those days came in Italian cinemas, in the section after the presentation Controcampo Italian at 67 ° Mostra del Cinema di Venezia, the movie "Into Paradise" first work of the Milanese director Paolo Randi, the volcanic Paola said, in a spontaneous and fun, behind the scenes of his "fairy tale" lived with professionalism, harmony and liveliness of the whole ...

In Lecce room at the Don Bosco d'Essai

Naples, it confuses the viewer's eye and then is lost between noisy and colorful alleys of the labyrinthine city of Naples, on this natural stage, which has as its background the silhouette of Mount Vesuvius, you will discover many micro-worlds within each other and, after driving carelessly worn a wet corridor, opens in front of us the "warehouse" or the colorful district of Sri Lanka partially colonized by immigrants. About anonymous terrace, in a few square meters, is interwoven stories: Alfonso D'Onofrio (Gianfelice Imparato) Neapolitan introverted scientist newly unemployed people, the fascinating Gayan (Saman Anthony) penniless former Sri Lankan cricketer and Vincenzo Cacace (Peppe Servillo) the corrupt local politician by nature cynical and careerist. The three figures on the borderline between the real and the surreal, are lined up at a time, and lilting choral enriched by an unusual comic spirit at times poetic.

know best newcomer video-maker :

Paul, as he experienced the "Neapolitan" during the making of the film?

I really enjoyed the neighborhood and welcomed us very well, because even though we were at the crossroads of streets, stationed on the roof of this building in " warehouse for about two weeks, people are literally taken, thanks to the cooperation of the people we were able to bring the makeup, costumes, etc. .. directly into the homes of residents. We were perfectly mixed people, a funny example about Gianfelice Imparato that ran quietly and with a cigar in his undershirt .

As direct Gianfelice Imparato and Peppe Servillo?

Well it was fantastic! Gianfelice Imparato is a genius, has also been a fundamental support for me, mainly because it failed to establish extraordinary harmony with the whole cast and I think that the relationship has developed between Leary, Servillo and Anthony is evident throughout the movie, this tight-knit collaboration has been a slightly won my bet, even Servillo was wonderful, and at last I can say that they were all good .

The role of Saman Anthony instead?

Ginafelice and Pepper have been extraordinary to launch a "non-actor like Anthony Saman that for the first time in his life, as well as acting in his language, had to play with two actors who conversed quickly in Naples. Anthony has been good at accordasi with these two great personalities.

How did the idea of \u200b\u200busing the "surreal scene" to tell the "daydreams" of Alfonso?

The idea comes from different experiences, having studied law I've also done theater and then I have dedicated myself to painting for several years, usually attend exhibitions of contemporary art museums to look for ideas on images, as is my way of working particularly with regard to the script. I realized that I need visual stimulation to understand what I want to achieve and I am always interested in the emotional memory because the "facts" are not particularly important, but on the contrary, it is important to investigate and understand as we live them and how "We reinterpret them in remembrance," this is our way of life to determine our choices. Add that "daydreaming" is a creative process put in place free from all this demonstrates that creativity belongs to the patrimony of humanity, I think this is very important since it is a character that distinguishes us from the rest of creation, the "dream with your eyes closed" involuntary creations are in the process of association of the images, while during the waking the person chooses, and that sealed our freedom, so when a daydreaming feels really free, so why not be able to explore something so extraordinary?; more the character of Alfonso fit perfectly to show these processes mnemonic.

What eff ects used during processing of the film?

I preferred to work with the effects on recovery .

Why?

Despite much you love the digital effects, I prefer those to "recovery" since they have a particular taste, are unique and unrepeatable uniqueness and confirm that aspect of the digital effect that instead because it is not infinitely reproducible. This kind of effects from an artisan touch, people enjoy to see and understand how a trick is done, is something magical, I think is fascinating because it can be played by each of us .

respect to the effects on recovery, explains the technique of animation to "step one"?

The technique to "step one" is an old animation technique made with the actor, usually the image of film contains 24 frames per second of film, so every photograph is shot a frame and you have to make a shooting new 24 second, then move your characters depending on the speed you want in return. It is not very complicated to run and eventually the final effect is very pleasant and enjoyable .

As was incorporated in the film community Sri Lanka?

Very well, I'll tell you that the other night when I went to Naples to present the film, there were many "actors" of the community with their families we have celebrated, they were so happy and I am happy to have worked with this community very nice. Every day our society becomes increasingly multicultural, and this is a good thing, so we bring "new blood" by improving our immune system, however I could not not be for the "mix" because Milan are only on paper, I live in Rome and the origins of my family are scattered half Italy.

S ccording to her, the Italians are at ease in a multiracial society?

course in the end we are all immigrants, we are really all over the world and we fully integral with great success. I hope that the majority of Italians will remember what they did in previous generations; The fact that our society is multicultural is a very important value because in this way the cultural confrontation can only lead to fantastic results. For example, Milan has always been a city with a strong immigration, and in fact is a city that produces more, more laborious and richest in Italy. I think that immigration will bring new lifeblood to this country, and then immigration is the future .

But that shot bags policies that are against these ideas?

Who cares pockets of policies, are the Italians who decide and the people who must remember to make good choices. Politicians are there to our service and not the other, the citizen who can "unseat" when they want to, just to be clear and have the memory of our past. The Italians are a great nation, and must always remember this, and I think that the sense of responsibility should be for all citizens, so let's take these responsibilities .

What do you think of the event on Sunday 13 in Piazza del Popolo?

It 'been a "crash" I'm so proud as a woman, and I think that do not import the different ways of interpreting things, the concept and are unanimous voice : Enough!

We were a bit 'broken the "..." it's time to change and it's beautiful and I am happy to see that the square answer in this way .

speak of MAUDE, group of workers of the show, what is it?

I'm involved in a group of workers of the show called "MAUDE", also on Facebook rather invite all men and women to join, takes care of workers' rights show with the idea that protecting women's work in the show and the presence of women in television and film, will ensure an image of the woman and also man 's a little more respectful and uplifting of what ultimately will be proposed .

actions to inform us at maude.lavoratricispettacolo @ gmail.com or look for us on Facebook to " MaudeBlog discussion group of workers performing "

In a few words from director how to rebuild the Italy of today?

I hope everyone will continue to take to the streets, in the future I would like more openness, tolerance, a new policy to work, culture and research, would be a great achievement if this country could get to the most developed countries, because in these situations during the crisis and maintain support research and give space to young people especially .

What would you recommend to a young "apprentice" director?

Council jump and do or, as he says Werner Herzog: "Take the" camera "and then a movie, there are no more excuses" . We need young people, the more I turn to the institutions, we need more scholarships to promising young start of Italian cinema.

How was the experience at the Film Festival in Venice?

a fantastic experience, by the very fact of being in Venice and then because in my section of the competition were Nanto-known names, but us. "Laughter"

I was very comfortable because there were all my friends who encouraged me from Rome, in the lounge we were greeted very well, I think we had fifteen minutes of applause .

How do you see the Italian cinema?

auteur cinema has always been our pride and we are directors of both young and not very important, for example, Perry and Sorrentino. With all due respect to the commercial cinema or "cinepanettoni" is right that we are, but in a country like ours the auteur cinema is very important and that's what makes the difference in the landscape foreign. Should be supported!

Who are the new rookies?

The newcomers are many and very good ..

Puglia few names?

Puglia I still have very good debut and I know are: John Mezzapesa, Andrew Constantine and Michael Bia, in my opinion these are three pieces that will be a long way from ninety. But who knows how many there are high .

What do you think of the Region of Puglia?

Puglia is one of the most culturally vibrant regions in Italy and is truly a beautiful land. I worked with the company "Teatro minimum" and I remember the work in the theater with Michele Torsello and many others .. well then you have the old glories as Edward Winspeare .

What are your masters?

Well I have too many "laugh", we do so, do you tell an Italian and a foreigner. In Italy I watch comedy Monicelli, and among his favorite films "The Great War" and he lived near my house in the Monti and I recall that before filming, I went to ask his "blessing." While overseas is a Master William Hal Ashby, he made wonderful films like "Harold and Maude " and "Being There" which also is the last film with Peter Sellers .

How To Shine Rosewood

Places of Salento / Oria

This Sunday we cross the administrative and territorial borders of the province represented by the dolphin who holds the teeth the Turkish crescent, to chase the deer symbol of the second province unless Extended Region or Brindisi. Along the hilly path in the hinterland of northern Salento, not far from the Roman Via Appia, rises from Murge limited to North and South from the Ionian Sea, a hill on which stands the center of the city of Oria architecturally powerful portrait of the castle Swabian.

Even in the case of Oria, the origins of the founding of the city fade from the dark depths of history to rise up to the legend, it is said that Herodotus of Halicarnassus, one of the first historical of the ancient world if not the first great historian, greek, considered by Cicero as the "father of history," greek and geographer Strabo, have commented on the unfortunate events of a group of castaways from Cretan Minos, which fortunately landed on the Ionian Sea in 1200 BC, decided to found on the top of the hill overlooking the valley, the archaic Hyria. Despite the natural course of history, which saw this area as the consequential evidence of civilization messapi, Romans, Byzantines, Lombards, a reminder of the "chivalrous" Norman period dated around the ninth century AD

The territory was conquered in 1062 by family Altavilla; while during the rule of Stupor mundi (Emperor Frederick II of Swabia) must, in addition to the numerous renovations of the old fortified town in mediaeval times, the construction of the Castello Svevo placed on the highest part of Oria in about 170 feet above from the sea. The castle was built on the orders of the Emperor between 1225 and 1233, to extend the curtain robust architecture that characterizes the fortification of the whole territory of Puglia, from the sketches penned by scholar Cosimo de Giorgi (1842-1922) who visited the manor In June 1880, we learn that "the Swabian fort has a shape of an isosceles triangle, with the top facing north and base in the south, which dominates the countryside of this part of Terra d'Otranto, the southern summits culminate in two cylindrical towers (the Torre and the Torre del Salto del Cavaliere), while in the north there is a vertex there is a great big square tower, called Tower of the Spur. The south wall of the castle is what remains of the cathedral, around one thousand, had taken, in part, the place of the old buildings messapici. The City is divided into four districts, namely that the highest part of residence of the castle is dedicated to the powerful military structure and is characterized by an iconographic red tower surmounted by a crown on a blue background; the second quarter draws the colony of Jews in the area, this is distinguished by the coat of arms depicting a seven-branched candelabrum, the third ward is located on the "blade" that is the plain where the waters flowed into the castle, a tree is visible in the banner orange and a well, both symbols refer to the will of St. Francis of Assisi to leave traces of his journey on earth Oria. The last quarter comes from the presence of the Colle di San Basilio, while crest consists of a Greek cross with stars at the corners.

The Castle, known as "Giant gem stone," is facing a long distance with other castles in Brindisi and the best known and octagonal Castel del Monte, the keep of Oria is completed later by cylindrical towers of the Anjou, near the Torre del Salto is located above the crypt of archaic Saints Crisante and Daria patrons from the city.

Like any good self-respecting castle, around the imposing walls we see a fine misty haze, which calls to mind the legend of fuomsa Oria "in these parts is said of the gesture of a girl who committed suicide by throwing himself through the heart or to escape from the castle tower to the wishes fiery of a castle. Another version tells of the macabre desperation of a mother who had to sacrifice his daughter on the advice of the oracle so that the castle walls collapsing, cursed the city: "May you smoke Oria, as the smoke My heart exasperated. " Passing one of the three doors that enclose the port town that is Lecce, built around 1727, we return home.
