Alina Marazzi is an Italian film director.
Life
[edit]Marazzi was born in Milan. Her mother, Luisa known as Liseli, was mentally ill and took her own life when her daughter was seven.[1] This became the subject of Marazzi's film Un'ora sola ti vorrei/For One More Hour with You,[2] although the film captured events from 1926 to 1972.[1] She took her first degree in the United Kingdom.
In 2007 she completed "Vogliamo anche le rose/We Want Roses Too" which was part of three documentary films she had made. This film was shown on BBC4 in the UK.[3] The films investigated how Italian women reacted to their changing role up to the 1970s when divorce, abortion and sexuality were no longer taboo subjects.[2] Her films also look at motherhood using her grandfather's cine films of her own childhood.[3] Her film Tutto parla di te starred Charlotte Rampling in 2012.[3]
She was a visiting fellow at Warwick University in 2014 where she talked about her films and the role of gender.[4]
