Career

Originally from Italy, Donaggio left the country after high school to study and work abroad. In his early twenties, he served as a camera and light technician on major international film productions, assisting academy-awarded cinematographers and directors. In the period of 2010–2020, he lived and worked between the UK and Norway.[5][6] He debuted as a film director at the historical Pesaro Film Festival, the same year he got a prize at Asolo Film Festival and won the contemporary art fair in Milan.[7][8][9]

Advocating for a different cinema he started creating his own audio-visual experiments as he graduated in image philosophy at the University of Lund.[10] Understanding filmmaking as a practice based on motion rather than information, he pontificates for a cinema intended as a dance performance or a choreography of light. Therefore, his works are primarily not-narrative and necessarily evolve from the image and its prime motion.[11][10]
