Francesca Rudel was born in 1998 in Lugano, Switzerland. In 2019, she moved to Milan, where she attended the New Media Art program, through which she had the opportunity to explore archival footage and cinema. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree, she decided to pursue a specialization in Editing at CISA in Locarno. This experience allowed her to create her first short film, TU SEI LA PIETRA A CUI PASSO DI FIANCO, where she was able to combine themes close to her heart - such as feminism and social issues - with her passion for archival footage.
