Beppe Leonetti
I graduated from Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in film editing.
From 2006 to 2009 I worked with Nanni Moretti, editing some of his documentaries and short movies, among which “Il diario del caimano” and “Diario di uno spettatore” – segment of the movie “Chacun son cinéma”, screened at Cannes Film Festival in 2009.
In 2011 I edited “Là-bas. A criminal education”, the movie that won the Lion of the Future at the 68th Venice Film Festival and the Flash Forward Award at the 16th Busan Film Festival.
In 2011 I decided to found an independent production company and to name it Incandenza film, after one of the characters from a David Foster Wallace’s novel. Incandenza film produced in 2012 a short documentary directed by Pietro Balla, “Nitro étude #1”, which was selected for the Italiana.corti competition at the 30th Torino Film Festival.
Along with Carlo Cagnasso and Gianluca and Massimiliano De Serio, I founded in 2012 “Il piccolo cinema” in Torino, an experiment to bring cinema in underprivileged suburbs of the city.
While editing both documentaries (“Every soul of my body” 2015, by Erika Rossi – “EXPRMNTL” 2016, by Brecht Debackere) and fiction (“Babylon sisters” 2016, by Gigi Roccati – “Stories from the chestnut woods” 2017, by Gregor Božič), I also started teaching: since 2014 I have been teaching a workshop called “I mestieri del cinema” in Trieste, and in 2016 I held an editing course at the first Master di Cinema del Reale organized by the University of Roma Tre.
I have been a board member of Doc/it, the Association of Italian Documentarists from 2015 to 2017.
