Artist Q&A Articles

BY Eno Freedman Brodmann & Niccolo Montanari

Eno’s soul-searching and sardonic short, featured in VAEFF 2023, exposes the honesty of PR by showing what life is really like for someone being interviewed even though their answers aggrandize the truth. Now, to bring the message home, he interviews Nico Montanari who was cast as the interviewer in the short. He turns the mirror onto Nico to talk about what it’s really like to interview someone else, and how he sees himself.
