''Salvatore Giuliano' (1962) a rigorous investigation, but itโs never dry, it has blood flowing through its veins. And Salvatore Giuliano is, among many other things, a grand hymn to Sicily, the land of my family, & for that reason alone I cherish it.'

Currently in Sicily and the locals here are truly the sweetest. Theyโre so warm and friendly and they greet you with sincere smiles and sometimes, blows you kisses (in a non creepy way). I had my doubts about coming here but Iโm glad that I overcame them.
'Jean-Marie Straub & Daniรจlle Huillet had a very strong, direct influence in my upbringing and my work. 'Sicilia!' (1999) is a great portrait of my homeland, because I was born in Sicily & I came back to Sicily after Ethiopia.'
