Armando Lamberti

'Armando Lamberti' (qv) is a writer, director, actor, composer and multi-instrumentalist from Roselle, New Jersey. _Exhibition Day (2015)_ (qv), Lamberti's directorial debut, was first conceived in 2011 in collaboration with 'Brian May' (qv), the film's star, producer, co-writer and editor."Exhibition Day", a nano-budget experimental chamber drama about love, loss and the work of art, bridges the divide between the narrative and avant-garde sensibilities and heralds the arrival of a unique new auteur with a singular voice. Nevertheless, "Exhibition Day" is a film steeped in cinema history and replete with a surfeit of cinematic influences. Lamberti, for example, describes his film as Howard Hawks' _His Girl Friday (1940)_ (qv) meets Wong Kar-wai's _In the Mood for Love (2000)_ (qv), as written by 'Éric Rohmer' (qv), directed by 'Yasujirô Ozu' (qv) and edited by 'Jean-Luc Godard' (qv)."Exhibition Day" is also the first film in Lamberti May's burgeoning "The Cracked Mirror" tetralogy and is shortly to be followed by "Trieste", a classical contemporary comedy about a strained mother-daughter relationship and the unorthodox high school guidance counselor who attempts to broker peace between the two warring women.::LMP
