"When you put the camera on everything changes, the best moments for me are and remain those of research, preparation, encounters. Without encounters, cinema, my cinema does not exist, I don't start from the screenplay, I just don't have it and it's that's why I don't make fictional films. I start from intuition, from essence and therefore I am reluctant to film and wait, wait, linger on the shots chasing the right light, which for me is a way to postpone the take ", explains Rosa in the Encounter Close to the Rome Festival, moderated by the director Antonio Monda, in front of a young, attentive audience in religious silence.
"It makes me incredibly anxious to give the take - confesses Rosi, double Italian and American passport, graduate of the New York University Film School - because I am aware that the cinematographer in action changes reality, the situation that had fascinated me risks becoming discolored".
During the meeting, scenes from two 'favorite' films chosen by Rosi were shown, as well as clips from his documentaries: Vittorio De Seta's Banditi a Orgosolo (1961) and LosOlvidados, Luis Bunuel's sons of violence.
