Chromosomes Exhibition
Valentina Pozzi has asked me to spread the message about their Chromosomes Exhibition:

"Hi, I am Valentina and I represent a no profit organization called Volumina. We are going to organize an exhibition of images picked and processed by David Cronenberg. These images are drawn from original film frames from his most famous movies (The Fly, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, Dead Ringers, The Naked Lunch, Spider, and the recent A History of Violence). The images have been acquired by the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia - Cineteca Nazionale in Rome through innovative digital techniques and then processed following the precise indications of the author. We are working on the clean up, the interpolation and the processing of the 48 frames. By December. The exhibition curated by Luca Massimo Barbero and Sergio Toffetti will be held in October the 21th in collaboration with the Rome Film Festival."
