Films is proud to announce the launching, on demand via Vimeo, of the
documentary film "Finding Joseph Tusiani -The Poet of Two Lands".
Starring Joseph Tusiani, Furio Colombo, and Daiana Giorgi.
This
film narrates the fascinating professional and life journey of the
Italian-American poet native of San Marco in Lamis, Joseph Tusiani. His
production of poetry in four languages (Italian, Latin, English and in
his Gargano dialect) is so ample that one article would not suffice to
cover it in its entirety. That which has the greatest impact of the work
of Sabrina Digregorio on Joseph Tusiani is her capacity to bring to
light the great sensitivity and brilliance of the poet himself. The
documentary accompanies the viewer on a voyage backwards across and
through memory and all phases of poetic justice. Poetry, in fact, at its
maximum potential becomes the Virgilio of this narrative in which
destinies, contemporary stories and literature intermix themselves into a
commingling which is altogether moving. Between one line and the next,
it traces between the genesis of the great migration and what one
discovers at the same time as the intense story of love between Frances
Winwar (Francesca Vinciguerra) and Joseph Tusiani, a memorable and
touching encounter made of elective affinities and poetry that will
forever change their destinies. As Digregorio asserts: "The choice of
telling the story of a human drama, the story of a poet also through the
intermingling of two so-called non-verbal languages, poetry and film
together, is a way of protecting the memory of the story through
emotionalizing. Through the form of a dialogue, a horizontal structure
to supersede the old way of building storytelling, I wanted to tell the
living life story of this highly renowned author. We discover and become
emotional discovering the author through the encounter which occurs
between two different generations and cultures. Daiana Giorgi converses
with him, asking questions in order to discover him and reveals his
biography thereby. All of this takes form through poetry that has true
evocative power, that has the capacity to evoke the life and livings of
the subject. Poetry becomes a hymn to life, in an intimate light and
researched atmosphere." A. Massa
