Lucia Bulgheroni is an Italian animation director. While studying filmmaking at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan, Lucia first began exploring stop motion animation and discovered her love for and the potential of the medium. After working in commercials, regularly blending live action and stop motion techniques, Lucia completed an MA in Directing Animation at the National Film & Television School in London. Her main interest lies in exploring issues surrounding philosophy, psychology and her own subconscious – abstract themes perfectly suited to be visualised through the medium of animation. With her short film “Inanimate” she has already won major awards at Cannes Film Festival (Cinéfondation), at Annecy – Int. Animation Film Festival (Oscar qualifying festival) and at BAFTA Student Film Awards.
