Discover Top Documentary DPs in Bangalore, Karnataka, India

I was born in in Milan (Italy) and discovered my passion for filmmaking and photography at a very young age, when there were no computers or digital cameras yet. I managed to pay for my university studies by doing video installations for museums, art exhibitions, live concerts and shows and achieved a MA in educational sciences (University of Bologna) and a MA in digital technologies, communication and education (University of Manchester). Thanks to my profession, I traveled all over Europe working with major musicians and dancers from all over the world. After finishing the university I left for a two months trip to Africa but till today, 12 years after, I never left the continent. In 2007 I founded the International organization Cultural Video Foundation, with the aim of using multimedia as a tool to inform, connect, advocate and educate disadvantaged people all over the world. Since then I have been working all over Africa for different UN agencies and International TV stations, finally settling in Dar Es Salaam since January 2015, where I live with my two kids. I define myself as a media activist and "film for change" can easily resume my vision. In this information society knowledge is power, but it is also a precious good and I am dedicating my passion and profession in spreading media and information literacy, as a basic human rights and an invaluable skill for today's and tomorrow's citizens.

I am a senior journalist and researcher from Bangalore, India. I have produced, directed and presented documentaries and researched for them as well. I like hard hitting stories that look at the people behind the news, the issues that need change because human rights are being denied and the injustices in countries where people still struggle to live a decent life. I also like to celebrate stories that are successes and pave the way for inspirational movements, for reform, for hope and for empowerment. Some of the stories I have worked on in the past are manual scavengers now running a bakery successfully, a snake catcher who ferries children to school and saves reptiles, a woman cop who battled the odds to reach the top. I also love stories that are off beat - stories that people have not seen before or heard of before and those that make people ponder, reflect and act.
