in many

Sound, cinema, words.
And the people met along the way.
From the personal archive
Some stories begin
before the camera.

Before the set.
Before everything.
A camera, a small animated world, and the curiosity to make an image move. At eleven, Cristiano filmed a stop-motion on 8 mm — an early encounter with the possibilities of cinema.
Read the story ↗Finding a voice.
Taking the stage.
The years of Desertica: live performance, the life of a band, and music finding its way into images. Cristiano also filmed a band videoclip in 1988; the photographs here belong to the surrounding musical chapter.
Read the story ↗The imagined
becomes a set.
A crew, a camera, a scene taking shape. On the Die Gotica set in Italy, the imagined world becomes a shared creative process — built through direction, performance, sound and the work between takes. A later hybrid concept study brings Kereju into that filmed world.
