Visibility: yes or no


Sirka Interview, Video Maker Roman thirty-three years since we met this summer, presenting the preparation of its new video-documentary on the plight of lesbians in Italy.
What makes your idea to make a documentary on lesbian visibility in Italy?
The idea came from a need to give a color to a story that is never done on the difficulties of the Italian lesbian live it peacefully their status as a lesbian, to define themselves as lesbians, and to integrate these into society; since there is a society ready for integration creates her every lesbian invisibility strategies that allow her to live in daily life, work, family dignity. A documentary film that talks about these gimmicks that each is created to give a semblance of serenity.
How will you achieve? Speaking to the lesbians I meet, making a trip to Italy I would like to talk with several women, and then document their experiences especially related to the different geographical areas in which they live. I think I'm in Sicily in September and I would love to interview the women of Southern Italy and especially Sicily. I would like to leave an e-mail - sirkamove@yahoo.it - \u200b\u200bfor those who want to contact me for an interview or just write a testimonial, it is not said to be an interview where you see their faces because often women do not want to appear. For those wishing to appear would be prepared to do a video interview.
've already contacted some lesbian women to be interviewed for the documentary, that difficulties and what reactions you experienced? The main difficulty lies precisely in not wanting to appear because almost all the lesbians I know are invisible or family or work or to their fellow politicians, there is always something that does not seem to decide where the women are more open, emancipated , politicized that I know often do not want to appear as a lesbian. Let's say you are other battles that mask the main one.
you think is a product that will be broadcast on Italian television, given the supremacy of a society that often heterologous complaint that does not supports it? Maybe it was broadcast on Italian television. But this does of course depend on me, so, being a video maker I'm not used to a television distribution as a festival evenings or car operated by different groups in different places so I'd love that Italian television there was an angle of visibility for lesbians as well as for many other cultures submerged. What difficulties
director meets a lesbian woman in the world of television and film?
Finding the money to do things. For a woman who is already difficult and is more for a lesbian. In fact, in Italy, all directors are daughters of producers, directors or major actors. So the affordability.
