Berlinale & EFM 2026 wrap up 📽️💃

The recent Berlinale and European Film Market 2026 were an energising and inspiring experience. Over the course of the festival, I had the opportunity to connect with exciting new industry contacts, attend inspiring panels and talks, and watch daring film premieres that reaffirmed the power of bold cinematic storytelling.

The atmosphere of collaboration and creative exchange pushed my current projects even further, opening up new conversations and possibilities for the year ahead. As the festival comes to a close, I’m already looking forward to returning next year with new work and fresh ideas.

This year, my focus will shift deeply into the production of my second feature film, The Human Experience, while continuing to develop my next project alongside The Story Of My Body. At the same time, I will be advancing my film course development for aspiring filmmakers and preparing the 8th edition of the Female Filmmakers Festival Berlin.

2026 promises to be a year of growth, creation, and collaboration and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

"Living In A Bubble" at the Pinerolo Film Festival!!!

Our short "Living In A Bubble" has been officially selected to screen at the "Pinerolo Film Festival" in Italy

Born to enhance independent cinema with a spotlight on Piemonte, the festival is dedicated to films of strong social and human impact.

About the film:

In the heart of a bustling metropolis, two strangers live in the protective “bubbles” they’ve built for themselves, isolated, disconnected, and unable to reach out. But through imagination and courage, they discover that even in the most unexpected places, wonder and connection await. Sometimes the bravest act is to step outside our own mind.

The journey continues - grateful that "Living In A Bubble" is still going strong on the festival circuit.

🎥 Living In A Bubble invites you into the world of two strangers in a bustling metropolis who, through the boundless power of imagination, escape the isolating bubbles they’ve built around themselves. As they break free, they discover that nature - and life itself - can bloom in the most unexpected places. Against all odds, miracles still await us… if only we dare to believe. 🌱💫
