Biography
Francesca Comencini (b. 1961, Rome, Italy) is the daughter of Italian director Luigi Comencini. She studied philosophy before directing her first feature Pianoforte (1984) which won the De Sica Prize at the Venice Film Festival. She collaborated with her father as scriptwriter on Un ragazzo di Calabria (1987) and La Boheme (1988). While living in France she directed La lumière du lac (1988) and Annabelle partagée (1991). After taking some time off to raise her children, she directed the documentary Zeno, le parole di mio padre (2001). She followed this film with two socially and politically committed documentaries, one on the G8 summit in Genoa called Un altro mondo è possible (2001), co-directed by a team of filmmakers, and Carlo Giuliani, ragazzo (2003), about the young demonstrator who was killed by a policeman. She also directed Firenze, il nostro domani (2003). Mobbing (Mi Piace lavorare, 2004) also expresses her social concerns.
