BIOGRAFIA:
Alex Scarpa was born in Trento, Italy, in 1988. In 2014 one of Alex's greatest dreams came true: he shot his first short film Luce Spenta. During the same year, he worked as assistant director for Razi Mohebi's movie Cittadini del Nulla (Mutti Award 2014 for best treatment on migrant cinema awarded during the 71st Venice Film Festival). After several projects and many workshops across Italy (including workshops at "Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia" in Rome), at the end of 2016 Scarpa is hired as an assistant director in the crew of the movie Una Casa Sulle Nuvole by Soheila Mohebi (Mutti Award 2016 for best story on migrant cinema, awarded during the 73rd Venice Film Festival). In 2017 he directed his second short film, the sad fairy tale “Stakhanov”. This movie was selected in various festivals in Italy and abroad (including the prestigious Italian Contemporary Film Festival in Toronto) and also received a special mention at the Edera Film Festival 2018 in Treviso. In 2021 he directed his third short film, the experimental movie about climate change, "Don't leave me".
