Andrea Pistolesi Photographer

Film

Direction, camera and edit. The same way of seeing extended through time — every moving image composed to stand as a photograph before it is asked to stand as a shot.

Commissioned and authored production, shot single-handed or with a small crew: 4K and 6K, aerial included, from location survey to finished cut. Natural sound, no library music.

Global Conservation

Five documentaries between 2020 and 2024 on the protection of endangered national parks and World Heritage sites, in Southeast Asia, the Caucasus and the Balkans. The subjects are the rangers and the patrols — what protection consists of on the ground.
