-Who is Diana Dell’Erba?

She is a woman, dreammaker, actress and mother extremely curious about everything that, invisible, connects human beings to each other and to Mother Nature.

-Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?

Since I was a child I loved acting and pretending to be somewhere else. I often had to escape from the reality that surrounded me and so I succeeded. Over time I discovered the therapeutic and initiatory side of art and I understood that I was very lucky to follow that first intuition…

-Do you think the cinema can bring a change in the society?

Absolutely. I think that cinema as art, and art in general, is the most effective way to change society. 

In the film “The Broken Key” by Louis Nero, my character said “Art is a breath of wind that inspires change”… It’s because it stimulates both of our hemispheres: it opens us and pushes us to action, simultaneously.

-When did you realize that the story living in your heart had to be turned into a screenplay and then into a film project?

Every time I feel deeply passionate about a topic, there comes a moment when I feel the urgency to make it manifest. Since the acting and performing art is what I have been studying for the longest time, I’ve trasformed  these urgencies into a documentary film, a short film, a podcast… simply the forms closest to me.

-What would you change in the world?

I’d like a slower world with less consumerism… and therefore a world where it will be easier to connect between human beings and with Mother Nature.

-Where do you see the film industry going in the next 100 years?

I think there will no longer be cinema as we know it… but, whatever form the story takes, I hope that we return to it just for the sake of growth and knowledge.
