Alina Marazzi

Film Director Alina Marazzi was born in 1964 and lives in Milan. Her lastest film Vogliamo anche le rose, currently playing in cinemas, aims to portray the deep changes brought on by the sexual revolution and the feminist movement in Italy during the 1960's and 1970's. Through this movie, Alina Marazzi analyzes recent history as seen from a female point of view including irony, affection, rigor and lightness.

With a background as a producer of documentaries, Alina has also been assistant director of feature films for cinema and has worked on art projects.
