Compassion? Where was the compassion for their prey?

You can actually feel the ghosts in San Quentin. I've been there and I know.

I was in badger section for almost a year San Quentin reception That place is haunted it’s scary

Wonderful and unique images filled with respect and love for humanity and life ❤

Such wonderful photos of the human spirit of youth Well done format

Every time I look at Marino's work I am always amazed and touched deeply at his ability to see what other's tend to miss altogether. And then, he is able to take the lense and the shutter of the camera and catch the magic for posterity and all who are willing to take a moment to absorb the beauty of his work. WOW! What an amazing artist, at his best!

Every time that I watch this, it brings me to tears!

Music has become such an essential part of my life over the past year. Watching this documentary was like connecting to the Source of all sound/life! Thank you Marino!

Positively wonderful....makes me want to fall in love all over again! What an Artist! Thank you for sharing.

Quiet human moments , beautifully captured. The shot selection and original score, make me feel like I took the journey with you. Amazing work, Mr. Colmano!

I was in SQ from 1974 to 1977

Bill Clinton can you recognize n!#%@ representing, doing 20 to life in San Quentin...

Good stuff💯👍🤺

The prison system in this country is and has been a "band aid for a bullet wound" There will always be people that need to be in jail. But this system is focused on money and looking good. Thats all it is.

Congratulations, Marino, A masterful piece of work! How lucky we all are that you were able to bring the skills, lenses, film, and passion and translate our visits into a unique and priceless piece of history and a work of art. Watching and listening to your FotoMovie inspires me to believe our collective efforts and personal perspectives - THE ARENA and LIFE WITHOUT - are essential companions for anyone wishing to take a deep dive into the world of a prison.. Thank you for taking your gifts to this high level and being my brother-in-arms.

THIS WAS GOOD❤💯

Thanks Marino , for being there to capture an amazing, and horrifying piece of history. A part of our life that continues today in the U.S. and around the globe. Your stunning visuals, combined with the actual recording as you experienced it really brings this unique retrospective to life in a way that could not exist, otherwise. Thank you for sharing it on its 50th haunting anniversary.

Marino, this is remarkable. These photos are amazing. The design of these spaces alone reiterates the message that these people aren't worth saving. It also reminds me of the power of community to find moments of joy, despite the externals. Appreciate you! Congratulations!

So moving. So well documented. The visuals and audios captured by Marino speak to a deep place of shared emotion as experienced through community and the spirit of love. Thank you Marino for all of your artistry and sharing of your gifts and talents.

I can really connect with the place now having been invited by Freda and Marino for 11 days of this sacred place. Thank you. How was the Olive Harvest.

Wonderful story telling

Έχοντας το ίδιο όνειρο με την Πολυξένη και τον άντρα της και έχοντας ζήσει την ίδια επώδυνη εμπειρία με τον Χάρη χάνοντας τον αγαπημένο μου Βασίλη την ίδια ακριβώς εποχή, νοιώθω πολύ συγκινημένη κάθε φορά που βλέπω αυτό το βίντεο του ταλαντούχου Μαρίνο που αποτυπώνει με τόση τέχνη τα όνειρα.

"Polixeni's Dream" is an extraordinary film. I have never wept, smiled, laughed, and grimaced (with compassion for the construction process) thorough a movie as I have this one. It touched my soul as you so well presented the circle of life, and your symbolism throughout brought such a deep emotional response I cannot describe. The story is a powerful study of life from building dreams and enduring great loss to being triumphant thorough all the hardships and sorrow that can befall one family, including a pandemic, a war, challenges acquiring material, and working within the constraints of municipal bureaucracy. Even the neighbors' challenges of cleaning construction dust and enduring the mess was portrayed brilliantly. Capturing Polixeni's visit was remarkable and is among the mysteries that are evident throughout the film. The blessing of the home is a tradition passed from generation to generation and is the foundation of their families' belief system, which you portrayed daily throughout construction. Nothing is more moving than hearing Polixeni's husband tell his story, from the dark black/white interview to the light, colored interview. You brilliantly added to this with the background television running a video of life in Arkoudi - especially a grandmother holding a new born child. Wow! Introducing those who labored on the house is brilliant. Their work was arduous - but isn't everything that is worthwhile and good that way? So many critical moments you captured - falling through the structure due to an untied shoe, frustrations of workers with one another, a young man learning a trade from the wise mentor. You captured life. And your music brilliantly set the mood and tone during the ups and downs of the construction process - just as life, and the sea, flows. I so enjoyed the way you showed the passing of time; the child on the swing through day and night, the passing ship, the turtle and the crab, the flying of a kite, sunrise, sunset, and the moon - everything going through their cycles - such is life. Finally, when the family is greeted with loving hugs to Polixeni's Dream with delight and joy, you captured the great emotions felt by so many. The patriarch of the family sitting proudly, yet humbly, in the garden is dynamic. The cycle of life, love, loss, and creation. You captured it all. Please thank Hari and his family for sharing this very emotional and bitter sweet time with us through your lens. Indeed, Marino, "You brought it to life!" Dreams never vanish.....

Beautiful Marino!

John Cutaia 4-10-23. In re: 'Quattro Stagione' , , ,Very pleased to see that your keeping your "hand in" and actively continuing to create wonderful films! You chose a great piece of music to illustrate, via well edited clips, with perfect tempo and rhythm . . . Annie and I enjoyed your capo lavoro. However, this video, 'SPIRITO ITALIA" is WONDERFUL! For the moment I'm at a loss for the right Superlative to express how you brought me back to my many times having been there, since my first visit (1951) until these current times,.Enchanting, capturing in Toto, a spirit of place. Non voglio lusingarti troppo ma sei davvero un maestro nel riuscire a cogliere i momenti dello "Spirito di Luogo" non solo le persone ma anche i luoghi! Complimenti a te, mio caro amico. (I don't want to flatter you too much but you are really a master in being able to capture the moments of the "Spirit of Place" not only the people but also the places! Congratulations to you, my dear friend.) If this doesn't whet a persons appetite to visit Italia, nothing will. BRAVO Marino! J.C.

I really enjoyed your film, your work! Selections and editing was wonderful. I would write to the music for 15 mins, then go back and watch. I did that for a few days until I completed viewing. Love the guy bicycling upside down and too many others to mention!

A beautiful journey through time. Image and music compositions meld!

WOW

Wow, wonderful production! Amazing landscape and nature around!

Good story.

I enjoyed this very much. It is so moving...an emotional experience, a roller coaster ride up and down never knowing how it will end until very late in the story. An intimate portrait of a cultural event as much as it is a construction tale. The teenage boy learning masonry craft, the young man welding without a mask, hell, all the workers working without protection one would usually expect adds in subtle ways to tension throughout the movie that you intended, I am sure. Well done! Scenes that stand out for me: Spraying an adobe plaster on the exterior walls with sandy soil from the property. And the many progress shots, showing the first, and then final steps of so many phases of the project give it a unique pace, a rhythm. You must have edited hundreds of hours to accomplish this and to view it as a smooth, polished whole leads me to appreciate the enormous effort you put into it. The multiple backstories of troubles with workers, suppliers, weather, illness, death, war, and life changes give it a surprising richness and make it come alive. The ideal musical score woven into the story is perfect for not being intrusive, yet setting a generally light-hearted mood that gives your whole creation a happy documentary feel. Above all, it is humanity that glows like your superb sunset frames. That crystal clear image is in the end the glue that holds this wonderful film together more than anything else.

Thanks for making this. Peace and love from Dallas.
