“My Plans For 2026” (EXCLUSIVE) Interview with Damiano Rossi

– What are your expectations for 2026?

I believe that expectations are detrimental in the artistic field. Obviously, it is necessary to plan a project well so as not to get lost along the way, but I am convinced that the various solutions always come at the right time.

– What projects are you currently working on?

I always have lots of ideas in my head, and very often they are diametrically opposed to each other. I really like this because it keeps my interest alive in anything that can be a creative stimulus. The unexpected is my idea of a project.

– What would you ask event organizers in the film industry to do in order to support the creativity of highly talented independent artists like yourself?

I would ask them not to have expectations (referring back to the first question) so that they always remain open to the unexpected.

– What vision or desire currently guides your artistic choices?

Work through images and sounds. Cinema should be primarily this and not focus mainly on the story and the linear development of the plot. The image should guide the viewer in discovering parts of themselves that they may never have explored. I believe that the future of independent cinema will move in this direction.
