Biography

Anne de Carbuccia is a French American environmental artist and filmmaker who travels to some of the world's most remote locations to artistically document endangered environments, species and cultures; her mission is to raise awareness on human-caused threats to the planet and to inspire individual and collective action through art, educational programs, films and exhibitions. The carbon footprint of her films is reduced by filming with minimal crew and compensated by a reforestation project. In 2018 she wrote and directed One Ocean, a short film that premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. It recounts the connection between our species and the Ocean. The film is still traveling to festivals. She wrote and directed her first feature-length documentary, Earth Protectors, which was released, on Amazon Prime and Apple TV, in 2023 and distributed by Minerva Pictures International. Her narrative recounts the stories and the diversity of seven young Earth Protectors that are living on the front lines of our changing planet. The film tells us that everyone can choose to become a positive geological force. In June 2024 her short docu-fiction Refugia, where life will persist (16 minutes) had its Italian premiere at CinemAmbiente in Torino. Refugia takes place in Japan and is a poetic narrative which recounts the science of environmental habitats that for millennia facilitated the survival of life on our planet. Her new series, Choose Earth, filmed across a pivotal decade (2014 - 2024), had its world premiere at Rome Film Fest and its international premiere at PÖFF 2025. The series is an homage to cultural legacies, it wants to anthropologically document our era and to show the importance of societal change to move to a positive Anthropocene. The series is streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Anne has established the One Planet One Future Foundation in the US and in Italy. In 2016 the Foundation started an educational project, which includes digital lessons, based on the conviction that the next generation needs to start now to play a key role in devising solutions to protect and save our planet. She participates in mentorship programs for organizations such as the Guggenheim Foundation and IOC-UNESCO, which appointed her role model for the Ocean Decade.
