Giulia Grandinetti

Giulia Grandinetti was born in 1989 in a small village in the Marche region - Italy. She is a multifaceted artist, driven on her artistic journey by research and experimentation. She studied as a dancer until the age of eighteen, but even as a child she used to dream about being able to direct her own work. In 2008 she moved to Rome and began studying acting in a Cinecittà academy. She chose acting in an effort to mediate between her background in dance and her desire of becoming a film director. In her training course she studied with M. Margotta, A. Piccardi, M. Abraham, F. Pardeillhan, D. Antonelli, P. Buglioni. In 2010 she made her debut as a leading actress in "Love's Labour's Lost)" directed by Alvaro Piccardi at the Globe theater in Rome. In 2012 she also opened up to international courses: she studied at the Odin Teatret in Holstebro and carried out research in the dance world of Pina Bausch and the physical theater. She graduated in Literature and Philosophy at the University of Roma Tre, with a Master's Degree in Cinema following a Bachelor's in Theater. In 2013 she approaches film directing. From 2014 to 2020 she worked on her debut feature, "Alice and the Land that Wonders", a completely independent project (the film won several international awards and is now available on Amazon Prime Video ITA, IK and US). In 2018 she won the award for best director and best actress of the third edition of Shortlab (with a theatrical short written, directed and performed by her, staged with Michael Schermi and Mario Russo). This theatrical short was then translated into a film version entitled ''GuineaPig'', co-directed with Andrea Benjamin Manenti and produced by Matteo Vecchione and Francesco Conticello. She works on various sets as executive producer and line producer. In 2020 she made the short film "Greenwater", produced by Nikada Film and the short film ''Where We Were'', produced by Hubris Pictures and made in 8 mm film. From 2020 she's working on new projects: a short film ''Tria'' (shot in Greek and on 35 mm film), a short film ''Majoneze'' (set in Albania in Albanian and Serbian languages) and a new feature film ''Jeune et Blue" (who would like to shoot in co-production with France). At the moment he is writing new and various projects. To support himself and be able to travel, he gives online lessons in diction and vocal identity research. In 2029, however, the photographic exhibition of the long-term project on the study of change entitled PhramesOfHer will be ready. She is creatively obsessed with understanding the human being and fascinated by the formula of dystopia. In the future he would also like to deepen the relationship between cinema and theater-dance.
