Biography Felice Farina in 2014

Born 14 August 1954

Felice Farina is a Rome-based artist. He grew through the Rome, Italy

ferment of Roman avant-garde theatre, both as an actor and Occupation director
backstage, developing – at the same time – a strong interest in
animation and special/optical effects for film making. Years active 1986–present

Since 1980 he thus experimented filmmaking riding the transition from traditional to digital
imaging, producing several works mixing analogical and numerical techniques in film and
multivision.
In the same years he started applying elements of technical and industrial design to
the field of arts, focusing on the relation between art and science and collaborating on several
projects of kinetic and scientific art.

As film director he directed several documentaries and three short movies before making his first
feature film Sembra morto ma... è solo svenuto in 1986, written with Gianni Di Gregorio and
Sergio Castellitto, who is also the protagonist. He spent many years directing motion pictures,
developing a great interest both in film drama research and in the new expressive challenges
coming from compositing images and sound in the new multi-layer virtual environments. His film
Bidoni (1995) was the first Italian movie edited in Avid environment.

His last work Patria (2014) was inspired by Enrico Deaglio's bestseller Patria 1978–2008 (2009)
and was selected in Venice Film Festival Authors Days.

He is known to build most of his own movie equipment. He's also skilled in Arduino programming.
