Ugo Petronin

Filmmaker Ugo PETRONIN (1985, France) is based in Rotterdam and makes films that navigate the interconnections between cinema, water and imagination. His practice is marked by technical experimentations and inductive research, resulting in audiovisual hybrids that combine film, new media and sensory ethnography. Petronin’s experimental documentary Ninfa fluida (2024) is selected for IFFR 2024.
