In ways, it was a rude awakening to the drug problem that both fueled and plagued fashion in the late 90s. Amy Spindler <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1997\/05\/20\/style\/a-death-tarnishes-fashion-s-heroin-look.html\">wrote about it<\/a>, as in \u2018heroin chic\u2019, for the New York Times May of 1997. The 20-year-old Sorrenti was a doted-on purveyor of the style in his photographs: raw, saturnine and emotional. He brimmed with talent\u2013\u2013naturally\u2013\u2013the family includes a string of photographers including his mother Francesca, his older brother <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/mario-sorrenti\">Mario<\/a> and sister, <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/vanina-sorrenti\">Vanina<\/a>. Davide&#8217;s images are fluently intoxicating and unafraid, a look and feel which he became known for. Many of his images include his girlfriend at the time, a young <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/jaime-king\">Jaime King<\/a>, who had and overcame her own struggles with heroin use. It was a fleeting moment in photography that etched a permanent place in its history. After Davide\u2019s passing the magazines turned to the more upbeat. Last week at the SVA Theatre, Charlie Curran premiered his seven-year-in-the-making documentary &#8220;See Know Evil&#8221;, a film aiming to tell Davide&#8217;s story. Since July, Curran began uploading photographs of Davide&#8217;s on the film&#8217;s Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/see_know_evil\/\">@See_Know_Evil<\/a>. Some of the photographs Curran unarchived himself, with the help of Francesca Sorrenti. For the documentary, Curran spoke with those close with Davide, a point also encouraged by Francesca if he was to have a film. After selling out his first screening last Friday, a special second screening was picked up for this Thursday. We spoke with Francesca about her involvement in the close-to-home project.  <\/p>\n<p><center><strong>Francesca Sorrenti<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n<div class=\"centerimg\">\n<p><strong>What were your initial thoughts on the project &#8220;See Know Evil&#8221; and how did you find out Charlie was trying to make this?<\/strong><br \/>\nA lot of people had approached me over the years about making a film about Davide, so trust me when I say working with a twenty-year-old film student from Georgia who\u2019d never made a film was nuts.  I got a lot of flack\u2026When I met with Charlie, we talked about why he felt like he had to tell Davide\u2019s story, what it meant to him, and why he felt other kids on similar paths needed Davide\u2019s story too. I started by giving Charlie a copy of the photo book I published for the Art of Photography exhibition on the first anniversary of Davide\u2019s death. It\u2019s some of the last published work of Davide\u2019s, gorgeous prints I curated, excerpted from editorials in Detour, i-D, and his journals. I also made him take down a list of names, and told him that if he could get everyone to speak in the film, he\u2019d have the real story.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>How was the process of giving Charlie access to Davide\u2019s archives? What about the archiving that Charlie himself has been doing\u2013\u2013has he shared these images with you? <\/strong><br \/>\nDavide\u2019s archives had been sealed for two decades, and it wasn\u2019t until five years into the filmmaking that I opened it up to See Know Evil. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything about Davide that would be impossible to capture in a documentary like this? <\/strong><br \/>\nDavide was my son, and no documentary, no media, nothing will ever come close to replicating or translating that relationship. You can ask any mother, or any child, this isn\u2019t debated.\n<\/div>\n<p><div class=\"rl-gallery-container\" id=\"rl-gallery-container-1\" data-gallery_id=\"0\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery rl-basicgrid-gallery \" id=\"rl-gallery-1\" data-gallery_no=\"1\"> <div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/11\/44492840_252593348764839_3523813216165221163_n.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/11\/44492840_252593348764839_3523813216165221163_n-512x640.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"rl-gallery-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/11\/40035899_338547703355715_5124696931983193941_n.jpg\" title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.mdel.net\/oftheminute\/images\/2018\/11\/40035899_338547703355715_5124696931983193941_n-640x423.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"423\" \/><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><br \/>\n<small>Images by Davide Sorrenti: LEFT: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/models\/frankie-rayder\">Frankie Rayder<\/a>, RIGHT: <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/jaime-king\">Jaime King<\/a><\/SMALL><\/p>\n<p><!--pp-thumb-start--><!--PictPress found no dir \/2018\/11\/113963--><!--pp-thumb-end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A special second screening of See Know Evil will be on Thursday at the SVA Theatre in New York <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":443,"featured_media":114077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10414,16,2],"tags":[2319,11539,46,2316],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113963"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/443"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113963"}],"version-history":[{"count":32,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":145386,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113963\/revisions\/145386"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/114077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/oftheminute\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
