‘Benvenutti a Lampedusa’ is a short excerpt taken from my feature film ‘The Invader’. This opening scene features fashion icon Hannelore Knuts.
‘Benvenutti a Lampedusa’ was exhibited at ‘Commercial Break’, a project curated by Neville Wakefield at the 54th Venice Biennale 2011.
The feature film ‘The Invader’ premieres at the Venice Film Festival 2011 as part of the Orizzonti competition.

This scene from the movie Benvenuti a Lampedusa: The Invader captures nudists on a rocky beach in Lampedusa as migrants emerge from the sea. Women appear fully nude, walking along the sand and lounging amid crashing waves. A muscular man in shorts wades ashore, watched by the group under golden hour light. The footage blends natural beach serenity with a tense narrative of arrival.
