biography
Born and raised near Firenze, Italy, in 1991, Alessandro grew up with free access to the local cinema. He dropped out of law school at the age of 21 to move to Sweden and pursue a filmmaking career. He started out as a camera assistant on different feature films and commercials before transitioning into shooting and directing commercials and short films himself.
He wants his films to be full sensory experiences. The only comfortable thing for the viewer should be their seats as he likes to think that even his mother, who is the most restless and uninterested audience, should still be engaged and unable to look away.
His zero-budget short film KAKOR was screened at festivals like Clermont Ferrand 2024 and Melbourne Film Festival (amongst others). The film was also shortlisted for Guldbagge (Swedish Oscars) in 2025 and is now out on SVT and BeTV.
With the pitch for his upcoming short GOD MOR Alessandro was selected as one of 10 emerging north-European filmmakers at Screen Talent Europe Pitching Forum 2023 as well as receiving the Pixel Talent Award 2023, one of Sweden’s largest short film prizes.
He is currently developing his debut feature YOU, LONG AWAITED.
