A cool side of our job, is that human relationships do not run out in the lapse of the film making. With the Iranian guys we have become good friends and anytime's a good time to drop in on them, at "Persepolis'" in "via del Pratello".
Mr. Dassi’s interview closes the shooting phase and opens the editing one. Options are endless… let everyone tell his own story without interruption, or create a segmentation according to the different topics … reduce to minimum the speeches of the Italian interlocutors or let the whole conversation…
A curious coincidence wanted that we met the Director of the newspaper “Il Tamburo”, Raymond Dassi, in the day celebrated as symbol of the Liberation of Italy and this year also the V2-Day, when 3 referendum (referenda?) have been proposed to Italian people to uphold the constitutional right “free press in a free country”.
The interesting side in our job is that hardly anything can be planned… there’s always the “X Factor”... that could be called also “human factor”… each person reacts differently to the same situation and nothing can be taken for granted.
In an article called “Italy seen by a Czech “ [the coincidence!!!] Eva expressed all her outgoing and nice nature by stating “I’ve been touched by the beauty of the cities, and of the countryside and, of course, by the food excellence. (…) I’ve appreciated Italians’ peacefulness and happiness, but I’ve found also much superficiality and people who cared only to their appearance, to be fashionable. (…)” "
Just outside Bologna there’s a whole green world made of trees and harvest-field… quite unbelievable… the place where Salvatore lives is 15 minuts far from the city center, but I could swear it was a billion kilometers!!
The chat between Nadouba and Rosanna has been full of surprises.
Nadouba, always so smiling and happy, became serious and wiser than whatever 22 y.o. girl we have never met.
Every Tuesday in a Bologna’s elementary school gym, Nadouba Oularé holds her lessons of Traditional African Dance.
Nadouba is nothing less than the granddaughter of the famous Fadouba Oularé, founder in 1959 of the “Les Ballets Africains”, and comes from Faranah, Guinea, where she learnt malinkè traditional dance.
