torino #4

the 2nd screening more than half full at 12:30 on a tuesdat afternoon, alot of applause, and I was approached by a guy, massimo after the screening, he is interested in showing it in roma, he spoke to me in italian, i heard you speak, rumoour travels fast in torino.
it's a little bit too swiss here for my tastes, not the chaos of napolio or palermo, a northern intellectual energy, that can be very oppresive. note from last night
The filmmakers can be very isolated here, it's not personal, everyone else is.
I saw the egyptian museum here today it was the shit, old school just stuff in miles of cases like the louvre used to be, incredible collection.
last screening this afternoon, began at 2:15, I was packing and arranging with the lovely elizabetta being picked by a driver tomorrow morning. The others were there but nobody said hi, or bye, i guess. well, that's really swiss. i mean interesting. so i hit the screening just towards the end two thirds full, and i said to the gal who was in the charge of the house that i was buying beers at the pizza place downstairs, and that i would like to invite all in the room to join me, i got 22 people, almost all of em kids, and it was wide, free range conversation in italian and english on everything cultural, it cost me 40 euros and we did for an hour smoking and drinking in front of the pizza parlor, they had a window and just passed out the beers, one of the guys had a joint and lit it up, it was great, it's like the energy we put into that film was transfered out into the street in front of this pizza stand as the sun was going down.

much love
