Published on the centenary year of Pasolini's birth, Pier Paolo Pasolini: Writing on Burning Paper
is a dual edition that stages a dialogue between cinema today and Pasolini's timeless films and
words.

The two complementary volumes slide into one another, forming a unique set that evokes and
celebrates Pasolini's enduring influence. The smaller book features his epic autobiographical
poem 'Poet of the Ashes', in a revised translation by esteemed poet Stephen Sartarelli; the larger
book comprises original tributes by vital filmmakers from across the contemporary cinema
landscape.

Twenty filmmakers shared personal reflections in the form of essays, poems, photographs,
drawings and more: Catherine Breillat, Luise Donschen & Helena Wittmann, Jia Zhangke, Radu
Jude, Payal Kapadia, Alexandre Koberidze, Dane Komljen, Mike Leigh, Mariano Llinas, Roberto
Minervini, Valerie Massadian, Luc Moullet, Ben Rivers, Angela Schanelec, Ulrich Seidl, Basma al-
Sharif, Deborah Stratman, Anocha Suwichakornpong and Gustavo Vinagre.
