Bio
Sofia Merelli is an Italian filmmaker whose research is close to cinéma du réel, with a particular focus on post-natural studies. Her path crosses different artistic practices and she was part of the UN*SALTA collective, with which she realised two interactive performances. However, the language that most represents her is audiovisual and she is currently editing her first medium-length film Frana Futura.
