Costanza Julia Bani

Costanza Julia Bani is a German-Italian filmmaker working internationally, Associate Professor in Film and Media production at the Stockholm University of the Arts (SKH) and Researcher at the Division for Media Technology and Interaction Design at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).

Beside teaching, she has artistic research and multimedia projects focusing on environmental issues and the redefinition of the role of the producer as a full-fledged artist.

In her vision the contamination between arts, sciences and technologies is necessary and allows her to deepen her praxis as an impact producer to ignite societal change making ends meet from an artist’s, scientist’s and a distributor’s / exhibitor’s perspective together with investor’s interests.

In her role as Resercher at KTH, she develops both some of her artistic research and audio-visual projects and NAVET's international network. She fundraises to create research hubs: a postgraduate program and international training group bridging arts, sciences and creative technologies.

Her work involves national and international institutions and aims to expand documentary formats and create installations for uncommon venues and exhibition spaces, that will be produced separately with Fellonica Film, Lars G Lindström’s company, which she joined in 2023. Fellonica Film has several projects in the field of eco-narratives and climate related issue driven films: https://www.fellonicafilm.com/projects
