Valentina Parati
Director, Screenwriter, Editor, Cinematographer, Location Sound Mixer
Born in 1996 in Italy. Holding a Master in Cinema from ECAL-HEAD in Directing, and a background in Video Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti) in Milan and a Master of Fine Arts from ECAL (École cantonale d'art de Lausanne), she explores the intersection between the human and the mechanical. Her practice delves into liminal spaces, extreme contexts, approached through an acoustic and queer lens. Her films intertwine personal memory, where the mechanical becomes a metaphor for transformation, resilience, and a place of healing. She works as a film director and independent writer based between Geneva and Milan.
