Lucia Bulgheroni
Biography
English
Lucia Bulgheroni is an Italian animation director. While studying filmmaking at Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan, Lucia first began exploring stop motion animation and discovered her love for and the potential of the medium. After working in commercials, regularly blending live action and stop motion techniques, Lucia completed an MA in Directing Animation at the National Film & Television School in London. Her main interest lies in exploring issues surrounding philosophy, psychology and her own subconscious - abstract themes perfectly suited to be visualised through the medium of animation. With her short film "Inanimate" (2018) she won major awards at Cannes Film Festival (Cinéfondation), Annecy, BAFTA Student Film Awards and many others. Her latest short film is "Cromosoma X" (2021).

Il suo interesse principale sta nell'esplorare le questioni che riguardano la filosofia, la psicologia e il suo subconscio: temi astratti perfettamente adatti per essere visualizzati attraverso il mezzo dell'animazione. Con il suo cortometraggio "Inanimate" vince importanti premi al Festival di Cannes (Cinéfondation), ad Annecy, ai BAFTA Student Film Awards e in moltri altri festival. Il suo ultimo cortometraggio è "Cromosoma X" (2021).
