Stefano Canavese

Born and raised in Turin, Italy, Stefano Canavese developed an interest in visual arts at the early age of 13. He first began exploring photography and soon moved onto the medium of video by the age of 14. Stefano has studied at a theatrical high school - Germana Erba - in Turin until the age of 17. He decided to transfer to a school more aligned with his passion and enrolled in Istituto Fellini, a cinema and broadcast-oriented school in Turin. Since the beginning of high school, Stefano has found his space in the Italian music industry, working on music videos as a freelancer. At first, he collaborated with artists in his hometown. After developing his knowledge and experience, he began travelling around Italy and working for well-renowned artists. He started to develop an interest in motion pictures at the age of 17. At that age, he managed to work on his first set for a medium-length movie and later, at 18 years old, on his second set for a short film. As soon as he finished secondary school at 19, he moved to Toronto, Canada and worked on several sets for music videos and film productions. In 2019, he returned to Italy, where he had the chance to work on two short films, one of which won the ''Best Cinematography Awards'' at the Puerto Rico European Film Festival and obtained several selections. The other is the sci-fi ''Elsie in the Stars''. In January 2023, he moved to Berlin, where he worked on his 90 seconds experimental short ''Boundless''.
