Federico is an Italian-British filmmaker based between London and Milan. His work is influenced by his biology and anthropology studies at UCL and often evokes science fictional, unsettling versions of reality. After moving into filmmaking by completing a documentary course at Imperial College, he went on to make a series of films that screened at international film festivals including Clermont-Ferrand, Torino Film Festival, DocLisboa, London and Glasgow Short Film Festival and LIDF. His art films and collaborations with artists and musicians have also been shown in galleries and institutions including the South London Gallery, Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Cryptic Glasgow, Wilhelm Hack Museum and on platforms such as Nowness and FACT. He also has years of experience editing documentary, fashion and art films. In 2022, Federico started developing his feature project ‘Enclave’, a sci-fi horror set in Sardinia, under Michelangelo Frammartino’s supervision during the In Progress Lab, which supported the film with a development fund. ‘Enclave’ has been recently selected as one of the 12 projects included in the inaugural edition of the BFI-sponsored UK Next Wave Genre Lab, which aims to support the next generation of genre filmmakers.
