Alberto Grifi
Alberto Grifi (1939-2007) is a director, painter, cameraman, sound engineer, actor, and photographer. Considered one of the pioneers of Italian experimental cinema, he invented the "vidigraphe", a technique of synchronization between the sound, the camera, and the VCR that he used for Anna, a post-68 film that became a cult classic thanks to its eccentric main character. It was presented at several festivals including Cannes in 1976. In 2004, he was selected to be part of a retrospective on Italian underground art, supported by prestigious institutions such as the Prada Foundation. In 2006, the Alberto Grifi Cultural Association was founded with the mission to preserve and promote his work.
