Bomar Studio is the production house that was founded by Marco Bolognesi in 2006 in London and moved to Italy in 2017.
It began as an art studio, mainly focused on contemporary art, and then also became dedicated to the production and distribution of animation and experimental cinema.
During the London period the company managed important exhibitions (and events), ranging from one in collaboration with Olyvia Kwok of Olyvia Fine Art in London, to the Chicago Art Fair in the United States onto the Casa Masaccio in Italy, developing collaborations with Italian organisations such as the Solares Foundation of Parma.
The common thread that unites everything, in Bomar Studio, between the world of art and that of cinema and new technologies, is the high rate of creativity and attention to current contexts. In what could be considered a creative hub, a crossroads of professionalism with an expanding network of collaborations, experiences spanning many years unfold together with the desire for research and experimentation.
In 2017 Bomar Studio built its headquarters in Italy, transforming a former factory from the 1950s into a cultural, productive and multidisciplinary space (repeating the experience successfully carried out by Bolognesi in London with the famous 3 Mills Studio) and strengthened relationships and partnerships with the subjects and institutions of the Italian art world. In the same year, with an experimental and avant-garde animation technique, this marked the first short film by Bomar Studio: Blue Unnatural (directed by Marco Bolognesi), which received numerous mentions and official selections at national and international festivals.
The short film, presented at the Future Film Festival 2017 in Bologna and still in circulation three years after its first release, is the winner of the AltFF Alternative Film Festival and the Canadian Cinematography Awards in 2020 (Canada), finalist at FlickFair, semifinalist at Vienna Science Film Festival. In total, at the moment, it is in the official selection of more than 25 international festivals: from Berlin (ARFF Berlin) to Latin America (Best of Latin America Short Film Festival), from Bucharest (Bucharest Film Awards) to Tokyo (Tokyo Lift- Off Film Festival) in Nice (NICE International Film Festival).
In 2019, Bomar Studio continued its activity in the art world, conceiving and taking care of all the logistics and organisation of the 15-day performance entitled Foreign Bodies for the Macro museum in Rome. In the same context, in collaboration with the Museums of Bologna and Arte Fiera, he created Past- Future within Bologna’s international event Art City.
Bomar Studio promotes and distributes its contents through the art market, festival circuits, television broadcasters, film distributors and multimedia platforms, configuring itself as a highly creative production house that wants to unite the world of art, cinema and new technologies.
