From graphic-design background acquired at Fine Arts Academy of Catania (IT), Roberto D'Alessandro specialises on film and video at the Université Jules Vernes of Amiens (FR), then University for the Creative Arts of Canterbury (UK).
Currently based in Paris, he has directed short-films, documentaries, corporate videos and fashion clips, and made special visual effects for several brands (Movement Torino, Moncler, Miu Miu, Kappa-Futur Festival, Aquarium de Paris, 1883 Magazine ...).
Today he makes 360° films about space and astronomy at the Planetarium of Paris, in La cité des sciences et de l'industrie.
In parallel, he pursues his own artistic exploration of digital video, with particular interest on its relation with landscape representation and time manipulation. His formal approach is linked to the tradition of painting and to the Structural Film movement. His work has been screened at several festivals and contemporary art events.
