And it is with this 36-minute film that the first recognitions arrive: THE SURREAL GLAND is shown at the FARENIGHT, at the CINEMA TRASH FESTIVAL in Turin, at ENZIMI 1997 in Rome, at OFF2-UNDERGROUND CINEMA FESTIVAL, at LA SAPIENZA University in Rome, and at the AZZURRO SCIPIONI cinema in Rome, where it stays for a good nine weeks. </font></strong></p> <p align="center" style="margin-left: 120; margin-right: 120"><strong><font face="Arial"><br> After, Gabriele decides he has reached sufficient artistic maturation and is ready to throw himself in a titanic and very ambitious enterprise, the realization of a long-playing video: the title is <a href="Filmography.htm#THE MAELSTROM OF ABSURDITY">THE MAELSTROM OF ABSURDITY</a>, and he thinks it will be the complete summit of all his previous films and experiences. Gabriele began writing the script in February, 1997, finishing it in July of the same year. The nerve-racking making of the MAELSTROM began August 1997 to end in March 1998. That is the filming period. The movie, which is 90 minutes long, is still in the editing phase (for the first time in BETACAM), and its realease has been scheduled, after countless delays and postponements, for March 1999: exactly two years after its conception.</font></strong></p> <p align="center" style="margin-left: 120; margin-right: 120"><strong><font face="Arial"><br> This site has been created to spread his name across the entire globe: whoever wishes to contact him to see his work or simply to know more about him, may do so without fear or worry. <br> </font></strong></p> <p align="center" style="margin-left: 120; margin-right: 120"> </p> <p style="margin-left: 120; margin-right: 120" align="center"><big><font face="Arial">  [</font></big><font face="Times New Roman"><a href="Director.htm">The Director</a>] [<a href="Descrieng.htm">The Actors</a>] [<a href="Filmography.htm">Filmography</a>] [<a href="Manifestoeng.htm">The Ideological Manifesto</a>] [<a href="Press.htm">The Press</a>] [<a href="http://books.dreambook.com/grrreg1/guestbook.html">Read the Guestbook</a>] [<a href="http://books.dreambook.com/grrreg1/guestbook.sign.html">Sign the Guestbook</a>][<a href="contacts.htm">Contact us</a>]</font></p> <p align="left"> </p>  </body>
