Life
Farina organized an amateur film club in the 1950s and worked for the Federazione dei Cineamatori (FEDIC). He also made numerous Super-8 films until 1963. He then devoted himself to Caroselli by Armando Testa advertising until he as assistant spent three films in the feature films.
His first own film ... Hanno cambiato faccia won the Golden Leopard at the Locarno Film Festival in 1971 and is described as a brilliantly staged allegory of the horrors of modern times. His second feature film, Baba Yaga , was subject to producer restrictions and was released in a version not authorized by Farina.
