Modigliani's New Novel on Sale

How are you?

J Books & Media has released Korean version of one e-book and two audiobooks.

 

The newly released titles include the e-book and audiobook of Modigliani's novel "Modigliani: Another Portrait," and the audiobook of Modigliani's novel "Dedo, Modi, Modigliani," which was previously published as a paperback and e-book.

"Modigliani: Another Portrait" is a book based on a hypothetical scenario, exploring what Modigliani's life might have been like, if the events that actually occurred to him had not taken place. In other words, if Modigliani's family had not gone bankrupt and remained wealthy when he was born, if he had not suffered from tuberculosis, if he had not abused alcohol and drugs, if he had not met Jeanne, etc.

 

"Dedo, Modi, Modigliani" is a novel based on factual data about Modigliani's life from his birth to death.

 

The released e-book and audiobooks are available for purchase at Kyobo Books, Aladin, Yes24, Millie's Library, Welaaa, and RIDI.

For your reference, I will provide you with the link to Kyobo Books.

"Dedo, Modi, Modigliani", A Video for Entry of the 2021 Unified Filmmakers Festival (UFM 2021)

How are you?

 

About two months ago, I received a request from “2021 Unified Filmmakers Festival (UFM 2021)” the film festival which is scheduled to be held in Berlin, Germany, for entry and produced a short video for the festival.

The topic of the film festival is COVID19, which is currently a fearful disease worldwide, and I produced a video relating COVID19 and tuberculosis, which caused Modigliani's death.

Tuberculosis, which had been tormenting Modigliani for his life, was a horrible disease that was highly contagious and incurable at that time, and people avoided the infected, but they were generous toward alcoholics and drug users.

Modigliani, who was very self-respecting, took an overdose of alcohol and drugs to conceal the fact that he was a tuberculosis patient, eventually deteriorated the disease, resulting in tragic death.

I linked COVID19 and tuberculosis because I think they are in similar situations although the times are different.

Although it was not selected for the online screening, I would like to have that meaning in the memorial of Modigliani once again and that it was my first work for the film festival.

This video is based on the contents of my Modigliani novel, "Dedo, Modi, Modigliani," which was an entry in the Amazon Book Contest.

Also what is meaningful in the production of this video is that I used the soundtrack of 2004 film “Modigliani” as background music by personal permission from Guy Farley, the music composer of the film, which was directed by Mick Davis and starred by Andy García as Amedeo Modigliani and Elsa Zylberstein as Jeanne Hébuterne.

However, the video uploaded to social media is a version of the background music removed from the original video submitted to the film festival.
