The iconic filmmaker of Caol Miner’s Daughter and James Bond – The World is not Enough, has sadly passed away this January 7th, 2021, in LA at the age of 79. In January 2020, our Artistic Directors Daniela Pavan and Tommaso Cartia, had the privilege to meet and interview the director on the occasion of the release of 63 Up, the ninth installment from the Up Series, Michael Apted’s epic documentary saga exploring all of the different layers of the British class system. A 63 years work of devotion and of unconditional love for his country, an “emotional bed”, like Apted likes to address his narratives, to lie and reflect on our own existential paths.

Listening to his words was more than just having the possibility to get a closer look into the work of a master. But to collect a life’s testimony about the mission of an artist and the waving of history. Enjoy it here below. Ready, set, imagine…

Di Luggo is an experimental artist fusing different art mediums, materials and suggestions to stimulate the conversation about urgent social issues. She is a pioneer and the inventor of a macro-photographic camera capable of shooting the human iris; Annalaura brought the theme of Light at the center of her aesthetic research by catching our profound identity mirrored in the spark of our eyes.

Annalaura Di Luggo – Blind Vision

Photographing different types of people and personalities, from celebrities to the people of her own hometown, the artist gives back the light and the vision also to the blind people with her series “Blind Vision,” and she is bringing her magical camera into the world of the people with the Down syndrome. She is also producing movies, documenting her work, and with the mystical connection she established with Mr. Stanley Isaacs; she is now bringing her visions to the United States. So enjoy our special Creative Being episode and happy Thanksgiving from the Creative Poison Podcast team! Ready, set, imagine!
