Armando Lamberti

Armando Lamberti is a writer, director, actor, composer and multi-instrumentalist from Roselle, New Jersey. "Exhibition Day", Lamberti's directorial debut, was first conceived in 2011 in collaboration with Brian May, 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" meets Wong Kar-wai's "Faa yeung nin wa", as written by Éric Rohmer, directed by Yasujirô Ozu and edited by Jean-Luc Godard. "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.
