David Battistella

I architect films. I live in Tuscany.

I make documentaries about art, history, and the intimate work of artists. I try to reveal the person and the place they live. I make a sincere effort to film truth, without decoration.

My job is simple: record the story honestly and let the subject speak. Not much more.

I also write. My book is No Shortcuts on a Long Road. I host a podcast called The Way is Love, where I speak with people or read from scripture.

That is the work. The rest is silence and light.
