Books and cultural projects Even if most of my recent working experience is related with video editing, I used to improve my cultural knowledge, trying to be something more than an experienced technician. As a matter of fact, thirty years ago, I took part in the first locat tv and fm stations as an author and presenter of programmes. So, I started again to write, other than working on edit controllers' keyboards. I studied the relationship between my hometown and cinema with the "Livorno Superstar" project and I published with Belforte Cultura -together with my friend Luigia Scerra- a book about the "Ardenza Cinema d'Essai". "Livorno Superstar: la mia città dentro il cinema" ("My town in the movies") is another book, released by Edizioni ETS. I like to work, if possible, in a culturally valid entertainment project. After the foundation of local radio and tv stations, in the 70's, I was involved again in the freedom of information battle. I signed Megachip's Manifesto and took part in the NoWarTV cooperative. Hereunder you can find some links about my books and some other cultural initiatives.
Livorno Superstar - La mia città dentro il cinema:
University of Yale: "Ardenza cinema d'Essai" can be read even in the Library of this prestigious University.
The same book can be bought online with the Tuttonet Website. "L'arbre du poete", a Website about Léo Ferré, hosts the link to an interview that I recorded in Alghero (Sardinia) in September 1981. A freewheeling chat with this great Maestro, about his life, his family, his house in Castellina in Chianti and -obviously- his music and his projects. The audio file is in my Web Portal and can be played clicking on http://www.oocities.org/marco.sisi/leoint.mp3. The transcription is at http://www.oocities.org/marco.sisi/leo.html.
