Peter Camani

Peter Camani is an eccentric artist who teaches at Almaguin Highlands Secondary School outside of Sundridge, Ontario, Canada. Camani is best known for his legendary castle near Burk's Falls, Ontario, which he has spent over 25 years constructing. Monolith-like sculptures in the shape of giant heads are scattered throughout the property. A two-headed dragon sits atop the chimney and his version of the See/Say/Hear No Evils greet visitors. It has been said that there are more than a hundred “screaming head” sculptures, each one 20 feet in height. Camani says he built his otherworldly creations as a warning about environmental degradation. With his paintings already hanging in such coveted places as the Vatican and Buckingham Palace, Peter decided to focus his seemingly limitless energy on realizing a unique vision of significantly larger proportions.

His castle has been featured several times on Canadian television, including the CBC series "On The Road Again", Arthur Black's "Weird Homes' and more'. Peter Camani was also the subject of the 1996 documentary "Concrete Ambitions", a film which won two awards. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181408/]

Camani has recently been working on a film of his own devising. With Dallas Boyes as the director, Camani began filming in 2005 and has been continuing with production since. Employing several students from nearby Almaguin Highlands Secondary School to help with acting, props, backdrops, music and taping, Camani's film has been exciting business for the surrounding area.

There has been no set release date for Camani's film.
