Director Biography - Marzia Braggion

I was born in the 80s, in the Italian countryside, in a small town called Conselve. Child of a seamstress and an artisan jewellery maker. Studying Cinema and Arts at the University of Bologna introduced me to a new language of art. I grabbed the opportunity to live abroad and eventually came to Portugal, where I delved into the language of filmmaking and became a seamstress of images.
