Chiara Boschiero

Jury

Leading the post of educational initiatives and programming for older people at the renowned Biografilm Festival in Italy, she also actively collaborates with Pop Up Cinema and I Wonder Pictures to devise audience development strategies targeted at schools. With a background in Film Production from the National Film School of Rome, EICTV of San Antonio de los Baños in Cuba, EAVE Puentes, and a Master's in Human Rights and Democratization in Latin America (LAT.MA) from Buenos Aires, she has over two decades of experience in fostering international co-production film ventures, particularly bridging Europe and Latin America. Transitioning from the realm of fiction to socially impactful documentaries during her tenure in Argentina, she has moved into a cinema and human rights education. Prior to her role at the Biografilm Festival, she worked as the Production Manager for the International Human Rights Film Festival of Buenos Aires (FICDH), Argentina. Her guiding philosophy, encapsulated in her favourite motto, "cinema is made with the fear of doing something bigger than us," underpins her commitment to pushing boundaries and harnessing the transformative power of film.
