Stefano CANAPA

(1977- )
Nationality: Italian

Stefano Canapa was born in Turin (Italy) in 1977. Holder of a Master's degree in History and Technique of Cinema, he has been making films since the late 90s. He was a member of the Groupe Zur, a collective of artists from different backgrounds who work at the crossroads of the visual arts, theatre, music and film. For over twenty years he was part of the film-makers‘ collective in charge of the artists' film laboratory L'Abominable, making shorts and features films, documentary and experimental, as well as performances and installations with musicians from the field of experimental music.
In a way, his approach is located at the intersection of these different genres, linking a manual and poetic reason with the exploration of the possibilities offered by the tools of film.
He often constructs his films from images taken from his everyday life, from simple scenes that he reworks using the resources of the photochemical laboratory. Marked by anthropological and visual concerns, his films focus on tenuous stories, the transmission of which is based on the development of a cinematographic language in tension between documentary and experimental as much as between figuration and abstraction.
His work has been presented and awarded in numerous international festivals, exhibitions and alternative venues as Locarno, Rotterdam, Berlin, Oberhausen, Marseille, Paris,
