• Carmen Tofeni

  Romanian-born, the director left for Italy to study cinematography at the Italian National Film School following the courses of Fellini’s master of light, Giuseppe Rotunno.
  She had an early interest in the documentary genre, which led her to shoot various docu-projects. Her  previous documentary as DoP, “Building no. 6” (23min.), realized with the support of ARTE and the MEDIA PROGRAMME through the training center Aristoteles Workshop 2010, won the Best Documentary Award and Jury’s Prize at Faces of Poverty Film Festival Budapest 2010. In 2009 she had her documentary, again as DoP, “What Traian Couldn’t See” (6 min.) screened at the Short Film Corner – Cannes Film Festival. Carmen’s graduation short-fiction film “They Are Nobody” as DoP has been nominated for the prestigious David di Donatello award at its 2014 edition. She chose a private story as her directing-debut.

• Genevieve Bicknell

  Genevieve Bicknell, an artist and film maker based in Edinburgh, Scotland, came to film by way of social anthropology and then painting. Her work explores themes of family, memory and of how we relate to others and to ourselves. During her studies she did camera and sound on a feature documentary (currently in production) in Yemen. The film explores the effect of the revolution on the dynamics within a family. Her MFA graduation film The Bicknell was a personal documentary about her relationship to her family. The experience led her to work more closely in collaboration with her subjects, an approach which she has developed further in Swallow. Outside of film, Genevieve paints, writes occasional pieces for radio and works in mental health. Swallow is her first film since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art.
