Giulia Grossmann was recently awarded the CNC quality prize for her latest films, "Pasaia" and "La réponse de la Terre", and was a finalist for the SCAM experimental work prize. Her film "Proxima B" won the François Schneider Foundation's "Talent contemporain 2019" award. As the laureate of the French Institute's Mira programme in 2023, she is currently developing a film titled "La mémoire de la mangrove," set to be screened in Natal, Brazil. This project delves into the intricate relationship between humans and this fragile ecosystem, emphasizing its role as a space of resistance for fishermen, scientists, and indigenous peoples.
In August 2024, she will embark on a sailing expedition with the ArticLab project in Iceland. During this journey, she will create a 16mm film titled "Midnight Sun" in the Westfjords, exploring the connections between marine biology and Norse mythology. This project is supported by the Goethe-Institut and the ARTEc research and creation program.
In 2025, as the laureate of the Villa Albertine, she will undertake a cinematic research project titled "Ocean Screen: From Surface Research to Abyssal Fiction" in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA. This project, along with her previous studies, will examine the diverse relationships between humans and the sea across various global locations and perspectives, highlighting how imagination and speculation fuel scientific inquiry.
