On The Cusp, Longlist - Music Video

Sohn, MIA

Giordano Maestrelli (VIRA-LATA)

Stink Film, Youth

A disordered place housing a disordered mind. Trapped in a eternal repetition of the present, the main character struggles to remodel and fix his house as he also fixes himself, connecting with the past (and future) and with tender moments lived under that same roof. Slowly, he heals, breaking the spell of time and opening the house (and himself) to the world.

With a background in still photography and visual arts, Giordano Maestrelli started directing indie fashion films and music-videos at the age of 17. His inspirations and experiences have led him to develop a body of work that is raw yet elegant; minimal yet robust; classical yet innovative. His work has been recognized by entities like D&AD, Clio Music, Young Director Award, UKMVA, Ciclope and many others.​​Giordano was​ a former part of Vira-Lata directing duo, who has worked in commercials, music-videos and short-docs for brands and artists such as Nike, Budweiser, Facebook, Nissan, Unknown Morthal Orchestra and SOHN. His solo work explores cinematic language to convey feelings, concepts and ideas as pure as they can be.
