Giulia MANCASSOLA
Three stories of youth, set in a timeless landscape dominated by oil, explore alienation and decay. In the ruins of the Albanian countryside, the protagonists face various struggles: abandonment, rebellion, play, and femininity, amidst surrealism and decline.

Giulia Mancassola was born in Soave, a small town in the province of Verona, in April 1998. After graduating from the Artistic High School, with a specialisation in Scenography, she spent a year studying Foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Florence. However, she decided to move to Milan, where she began her studies in Directing in the Media Design and Multimedia Arts program at NABA, the New Academy of Fine Arts, while simultaneously working as a Director and Art Director.
Her struggle with accepting her Albanian roots led her over the years to deep reflections on her identity, which inspired the creation of her first film, also her thesis project, based on the negative memories of her childhood summers spent in Kuçovë, a small town in the Albanian countryside and her mother’s birthplace.
Her career has been marked by her constant interest in the poetics of the Grotesque, which has shaped a style she strongly identifies with.
