The works of Francesca Amati lead us into another dimension, in a poetic reality which refers to the myth and dream.
The video narration develops with the use of a linguistic register very symbolic, which includes the use of metaphor to describe mysterious figures and animated objects, places and archetypal temporal distortions, magical elements and natural forces.
Creates a special dialogue between these elements of the story, which suggests stupor, loss or revelation.
Born in Pesaro, she graduated in 2002 at the Academy of Fine Arts of Urbino in the Painting course.
From 2004 to 2005 she attended the course in film directing at the New University of Cinema and Television in Rome.
