"A living tree means a living planet" is a collective international
documentary conceived and directed by Khalid Mokadmine, a young
filmmaker from Rabat. In April he reached me out online inviting me to
contribute with a one minute video to his ongoing project about the
relationship between humans and trees.
He had already invited several
filmmakers from all over the world, each one representing a different
country by telling a different visual story, and he still wasn't able
to find a director from Italy available to shoot his own segment. As
soon as he discovered I'm also a painter, he proposed me to figure out a
way to feature one of my painting in my video. Trees have provided
humans with the primary means of survival, therefore I thought it was
essential to show how they can still be a precious "motherly" source of
life for my own creations and (hopefully) the spirit of the humans
inhabiting my country.

Music inspired by the soundtrack of VANGELIS composed by AFAN Alessandro
Fantini
In a 2019 technologically different from that imagined by Ridley Scott
and Philip K. Dick, AFAN analyzes that one described by the film that in
1982 was able, in its own way, to prophesy the loss of empathy and the
hyperconnected replicants loneliness of the current future.
Between video-magazine and documentary, informative program and
video-art, in this series conceived and produced for the web, the
multimedianic artist AFAN Alessandro Fantini browses the art currents
and the artists who have contributed to its aesthetic training over the
years, affecting the development of his personal multi-faceted approach
to creativity.

Pre-Raphaelites
In 1848 three friends started the most revolutionary "reactionary"
movement in the history of Art: the “Pre-Raphaelites Brotherhood”,
inspired by the bright simplicity and linear purity of Medieval art and
Italian painting before the mannerist style developed after Raphael.
