We Are Art Through the Eyes of Annalaura (2022) User Reviews

Such a beautiful film!

[cameroncblaney · 10/10 · 16 October 2022]

So grateful to have been able to attend the screening of this beautiful documentary. Being able to see historical Naples Italy come to life paired with the back story of these four young adults was such an amazing experience.

I was fortunate enough to visit Italy recently and I can say that without a doubt the ambiance and character of this lovely country was brilliantly replicated and accurately reflected in the film. You will walk away from this documentary with a true sense of the breathtaking city and the youth that keeps the city vibrant.

Can't wait to see what comes next from this film maker.

A moving and thoughtful documentary

[mferris-55360 · 10/10 · 16 October 2022]

What a powerful opening to this doc, with the beautiful scenic shots of Naples, Italy!! This film is really a work of art, as it's made by a filmmaker who is also an artist.

You really feel connected to the 4 young kids who are featured, and you get to learn about their backgrounds through their own storytelling. Such a powerful moment when one of them is asked what his goals are - not to be successful in work but to be there for his child in a way he didn't have.

These kids all light up when they are a part of this work of art, so emotional to see as a viewer.

So glad to be able to attend an advanced screening, and will be watching again when it is available in wide release!

Fascinating and Moving

[briandever · 10/10 · 9 December 2022]

So glad to have seen this fascinating exploration of the artistic process, and the artist's perspective on the intersection of storytelling and personal experiences. I especially appreciated hearing the insights of each of the young participants - all on different journeys and all very thoughtful!

I hope that people who see this are able to have conversations after about the role of art in movements of social justice - around disability, immigration, and more. This movie feels like a launching pad for discussion.

I hope we also get to see what happens to the young participants next - perhaps a sequel!

The power of art

[cesareinvitti · 10/10 · 3 December 2023]

Rebirth, revenge, redemption, the reclaiming of human dignity can go through many paths.

This time they pass through the eyes and creativity of Annalaura.

Strong emotions emerge delicately and in crescendo in the documentary film which tells the story of the birth of a living work of art, but in itself the film is a work of art.

This film surprises and captures the viewer's attention by proposing problems that have always existed but this time in a new, delicate and moving way.

Annalaura's artistic maturity is constantly on the rise, appreciable in her installations and films, which enjoy prestigious collaborators; moreover, the numerous awards received are proof of this.

I truly fell in love with We Are Art Through the Eyes of Annalaura

[wcsewtbjg · 10/10 · 9 December 2022]

In this documentary art has an incredible function of inspiring towards the light

No matter what challenges we faced in life

WE Are All Art

I can't stop singing the song We Are Art Try to discover your strength inside, search it in God there it will be We Are Art we've got the power to believe it!!!

I loved exploring the artist's unique creative process which began with her interviewing dozens of young adults. They shared their personal accounts of overcoming adversities such as bullying, racial discrimination, blindness, alcohol and drug abuse, sexual discrimination and crime.

Social inclusion of minorities is the focus of this work Annalaura is real, you can feel she is there in that moment, you can feel her soul vibrating with her protagonists.

I adored the eye shooting of the 4 young adults And when the protagonist doscover them by entering in the magic cube is marvellous.

A film that came from the heart of Annalaura

[fabipica · 10/10 · 24 November 2023]

Annalaura's docufilm fully reflects the sensitivity and soul of the artist who, through the stories of the difficult lives of four young boys and girls, was able to convey with delicacy, courage and empathy the message that one must never give up on the adversities of life despite a difficult start and that if there is commitment and willpower every life can become a masterpiece. Well done Annalaura!

We ARE ART IS ONE OF THE BEST DOCUMENTARIES I'VE EVER SEEN.. .... it is a life enrichment!!!

[milaotter · 10/10 · 9 December 2022]

I can't believe what I saw at Los Angeles première of WE ARE ART THROUGH THE EYES OF ANNALAURA.

So many emotions and inspirations in 70 minutes.

This is a life enrichment... Annalaura's eyes are unbelievable.... Now I understand the name. Because Annalaura chooses the eyes as the center of her artistic research: she discovers them, she portraits them and then she transforms them in order to become living elements.

The eyes are the mirror of the soul and the artist gives a strong role to the soul compared to human existence.

She discovers stories of young adults who have huge challenges and she leads them to become works of art

The special effects when the young adults strip themselves from suffer and prejudices is simply DIVINE

BRAVOOOOOOOO.

WE ARE ART THIS IS TRUE THANK YOU FOR THIS EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENTARY AND SONG

[francescabusato-93380 · 10/10 · 9 December 2022]

I think that these are the documentaries we should see.

Self esteem is so important for youngsters!

It is great how this artist is able to motivate her protagonists And the song We Are Art is always in my mind.

The thing I adored is that the artist was inspired by the Bruegel painting, it is fantastic to connect ancient art to contemporary art.

The rope she uses has a strong symbolism. I felt it was like the umbilical cord we have with our mother.

With birth it has to be cut to start our own life path.

So Annalaura first uses the rope to pull the 4 young adults but after the rope becomes the symbol of their personal affirmation

What a great idea to have the viewer part of the scene thanks to special cameras that capture every person...

I checked on the web annalaura di Luggo and I found she is a super talented artist who dedicated all her artistic path to social inclision: this is great

Also the use of recycled aluminum is a great symbol for environmental safeguard.

We need to save our planet

Please watch this doc, it will change your perspective of life.
