On demand via Vimeo,  the documentary film "Finding Joseph Tusiani - The Poet of Two Lands" directed by Sabrina Digregorio


Eurybia 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
