It was a mid Spring day in May when I saw the orange painted walls of Mediazone for the first time. Orange painted walls with black drawings like a midnight dream… “tv monitors” for hills, “film” rivers, “microphone” trees, “digital” sea, “battery” bees, “speaker” clouds and floating cities – creativity and imagination like the very water and sunlight needed to grow life; “cheers!”
Reach the top of tape and monitor hills and E. and I go back into dreams of history . Talking about beta cam video formats, travel and mathematics: I am enthusiastic to learn another way to build my reality, I feel like a child. Walking down the hill I listen through the speakers a lab assistants voice; Nader’s voice and music, something like jazz words came up on my mind: “if it sounds good and feels good, then it is good!” At a certain point I found Andreas shooting video everywhere. I thought what interesting eyes! Let’s see. He notices all the details, and that is good to discover a little pleasure of life too. Imagination and moving things move Hystrian’s hands flying around the blue sky in editing. Sometimes he seems he get lost in the digital world. I like the dreamer that way too.
Little Andreas looking all around tells me Fabrizio where are we? I don’t know but with time and courage we will find the way to come out of this trip. Meanwhile Giota and Lucia finally find me and argue that they are too busy for play, and me, I stare as a child. But their smiling eyes are too big and full of energy so I understood they were joking with me.
Okay! I will go, but, leave me some time to present John. I imagine John like Oberon and Puck in the same person directing and recording this entire film!
And then I thought: what a beautiful dream!
Sometimes dreams are much more real than any one of us can ever expect, so we have to learn to have the courage to follow them!
Fabrizio Tomasso Z. is an Erasmus student from Montagano Italy. He is currently enrolled at the University of Molise in the program of Communication Science. He has been with us as a volunteer since May and has learned to edit on Final Cut brilliantly! He is absorbing information by the minute! He will try his hand as a camera operator soon, and will volunteer for the 2013 University of Nicosia Graduation!
