Luca Guadagnino has played quite a bit in various forms of visual storytelling. Obviously, most people know the filmmaker from his features, such as “Call Me By Your Name,” but he’s also done documentaries, shorts, and even a TV series, with HBO’s “We Are Who We Are,” which debuted last year.

Sufjan Stevens has spoken about his experience of performing at the 2018 Oscars, calling it “traumatising”.The indie musician was invited to perform at the Hollywood awards ceremony after his song ‘Mystery Of Love’ – written for the Call Me By Your Name soundtrack – was nominated for Best Original Song.“Honestly, one of the most traumatising experiences of my entire life,” Stevens said when asked about the event in an interview with the Guardian.
