About four years ago, in 2019, I started this crazy idea: asking people to write the title of their favorite film on a blackboard and then photographing them, trying to discover - through their reason for choosing the film - something more about them, a little piece of their life. In between, there was a pandemic, some lockdowns, and many months of social distancing, which prevented the Film People project from moving forward.
Then, things slowly returned to normal and this is how, today, the series has reached the remarkable quota of 200 portraits. In fact, 200 people have so far lent their faces to the project, and 200 people have had themselves photographed together with the title of their favorite film. Through the stories of these 200 people, we discovered many films that we didn’t know and many stories that struck us, including memories, hopes, considerations, and different moods. In fact, there is a bit of everything in the Film People project, from blockbusters to indie movies, from silent and animated films to films with the most modern special effects.
