Since 1997 I travelled in India for more than 36 months. After few years I wanted to try a way of observing small reality through the camera, having the time as first instrument and filming what I felt was an enlightened way of living.
I like to focus on details, gestures, in a smooth rhythm that allows the viewer to be with the film and still to be with himself, giving the time to have a double experience. To watch the filmed reality and to have the chance to think about her/his values, her/his reactions.
I think documentary should not manipulate reality but re-compose and condense frames, sound and stories in order to give a personal, harmonic, poetical insight. Reality is complex and fluent and we can’t always have a clear explanation.
I don't believe in an objective regard, while I follow an ethical way of shooting, not relying too much on tight editing but looking for a choreographic development of actions.
Being accepted by a community while filming and thanks to a solitaire shooting, a great freedom and a serene sense of exploration allow magic circumstances to appear. The God of small things shines everywhere.
The process of creating a painting, or a show, as a key to understand the expressive language of the artist.
