Locarno Spring Academy 2022
Davide Palella (born in Italy in 1996) graduated in Media Design and Multimedia Arts at NABA (Milan) in 2019. In the same year, after a series of shorts and academic works, he directed his first medium-length film, Sirio, which screened at festivals like Filmmaker (Milan), Slow Film Festival (Mayfield) and Fuorinorma (Rome). In April 2021, he took part in the In Progress development workshop, mentored by Michelangelo Frammartino. In October of that year, he received a development grant for his new project, Shura.
My enthusiasm for the Locarno Spring Academy comes from the opportunity to use the short format as a test for thoughts and emotions I’ve acquired in 2021, especially through Michelangelo Frammartino’s words and guidance. Equally stimulating is getting to know the other participating filmmakers and their worldview.
