"A step at a time" is a film dedicated to my uncle Antonio Mustich, missing soldier in Rhodes (Greece) during the World War II,
in celebration of his 100th birthday anniversary. He was born on 08/10/1919. He was killed in 1944, the details of his death are unknown. I'm doing researches to find out where and when he went missing. He was in the 50th Regiment Artillery Infantry "Regina". He was posthumously awarded a "War Merit Cross".

The Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration is a museum located on the island that tells the story of the millions of immigrants who passed through its gates.
Visiting the museum can be a moving and emotional experience, as you learn about the struggles and sacrifices that these immigrants made in pursuit of a better life. The museum features exhibits that showcase the journey that immigrants took to get to America, the medical exams and screenings that they underwent upon arrival, and the challenges that they faced as they settled into their new lives. The museum also includes personal stories and artifacts from immigrants who passed through Ellis Island, providing a more intimate and human perspective on this important moment in American history. As I wandered through the exhibits, I couldn't help but be struck by the diversity of the immigrant experience, as well as the many challenges that these individuals faced in their quest for a better life. 10 years ago, I was directing the TV program I Love Rock & Roll I keep many lovely memories of that experience. © ANNA BIANCO // All works by Anna Bianco.

I am excited to be involved in the making of this Docufilm dedicated to the amazing photographer Michael Putland. I'm looking forward to directing the filming sessions in England (end of March) and in NY ( in April). "Michael Putland is one of the most important photographers of the last fifty years of the history of music, and is the author of some of the most famous shots of almost all the most important artists.
Michael travels from London to Bologna, where there is an emerging publishing house waiting for him to publish his first monograph. At the discovery of his iconic shots, the documentary alternates his personal story, made of travels and unique encounters, such as the one with the Rolling Stones (of which he was a photographer for almost thirty years), up to Vasco Rossi (the cover of NONSTOP box, the legendary MODENA PARK concert and the recent NONSTOP LIVE tour). At the dawn of his 70 years, Michael Putland, with the fun and enthusiasm of the beginning, attended Italy to shoot services to Vasco, knows and photographs other artists (Ornella Vanoni and Paolo Fresu), realizes his monograph. Traveling between places and in time, Michael remembers the most interesting and funny anecdotes of his experience alongside the greatest international music stars revealing unpublished and surprising details. AC/DC, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, the Clash, Deep Purple, Bob Dylan, Genesis, David Gilmour, Jimi Hendrix, B.B. King, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, Madonna, Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Prince, Queen, Lou Reed, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, the Who, Frank Zappa are just some of the many legends told through words and images in this documentary, a true “illustrated vocabulary of rock”. by Arturo Bertusi Production POPCult & LullaBit Producer Giusi Santoro email: info@popcultdocs.com Facebook page Michael Putland website Rainer Maria Rilke in a painting by Helmuth Westhoff (around 1901)
A video that was inspired me by Rilke's poem (20th November 2009)
Rainer Maria Rilke's poem "Childhood" (in German, "Kindheit") is a nostalgic and bittersweet reflection on the loss of childhood innocence and the fleeting nature of youth. The poem describes the poet's memories of playing with his toys and being lost in his own imagination, and how those memories have been overshadowed by the realities of adulthood. Sono passati venti anni dalla tragica scomparsa del mio caro amico e collega Michele Cavazzuti. Abbiamo condiviso insieme momenti intensi e indimenticabili durante le riprese del programma TV "Ospedale in diretta", girato nel Sant'Orsola di Bologna nel 1998. Michele era un ragazzo di venticinque anni pieno di talento, con una capacita' innata di entrare in contatto immediato con le persone. Era solare, positivo, sensibile. L'affetto e la stima che ho per lui rimarranno per sempre inalterati. Grande Michele. Twenty years ago sadly my dear friend and colleague Michele Cavazzuti passed away.
We shared intense and unforgettable moments during the filming of the TV program "Ospedale in diretta", set in Sant'Orsola Hospital in Bologna 1998. Michele was so talented, a twenty-five-year-old boy with a natural attitude to engage with people. He was cheerful, optimistic, sensitive. My love and esteem toward him will remain unaltered forever. Great Michael. |
