Stefano Canapa

Stefano Canapa, born in Turin (Italy) in 1977, holds a Master’s degree in Film History and Technology. Since the late 1990s, he has been a member of the L’Abominable artists’ film laboratory, making experimental films, documentaries, performances, and installations with musicians from the field of experimental music. In a way, his approach lies at the intersection of these different genres. He often constructs his films from images drawn from his daily life, using simple staging, linking a manual and poetic approach to exploring the possibilities offered by the tools of analog cinema.
His work has been presented and awarded prizes at numerous international festivals, exhibitions, and alternative venues (Locarno, Rotterdam, Berlin, Oberhausen, Marseille, Paris, Barcelona, Seoul, New York, Toronto, Montreal, etc.).
