Giulia Grandinetti
Giulia Grandinetti made her directorial debut in 2020 with the independent feature film Alice and the Land That Wonders, after which she focused on a trilogy of dystopian short films: Guinea Pig (2020), Tria: Del sentimento del tradire (2022), and Majonezë (2024). She is currently preparing her next feature film titled Jaune et Bleu. She is creatively fascinated by the formula of dystopia, by taboos, and by the dreamlike dimension. The starting point for each of her creations is work on the body.
