Director Biography - Sofia Mellino

Sofia Mellino is a multi-awarded video artist from Argentina. Specialised in Audiovision (UNLa) and with a postgraduate degree in film editing (LFS), among other courses and research residencies in Germany, France and UK on immersive media formats and their consequences on post-production workflows.

At only 30 years old, she has won five international awards, three project funding programmes and the “94 Female Argentinean Visual Artists 2021” recognition.
Also known as the "Urban Symphonies' Artist" for taking this undervalued film sub-genre and re-signifying it today in, what she conceives as, "the era of re-invention"; in works such as "Land-on, UKan" (2017), "URBANÚS; La Sinfonía Urbana de Lanús" (2018), and "FUTURE RUHR" (2022); the first fulldome film created entirely with 360 camera recordings attached on drones, with intense post-production on the original footage.

Her works are characterised by her unique editing style where the equal power of the sound-image fusion prevails, and what is sought to be told can contribute value to society; such as in "malambE" (2021).

She is currently building cooperation and exchange of artists, ideas and projects of Art, Science and Technology between Europe & Latin America together with Future Campus Ruhr NGO.
