Giacomo Soranzio is a director, videographer, & editor from Trieste, Italy, currently based in Barcelona.
With a background in experimental cinema and master’s degrees in cinema, video art, and audiovisual direction from institutions in Gorizia, Berlin, and Barcelona, I combine technical expertise with a medium-driven visual approach.
I explore the creative potential of digital and analog formats, from analog video manipulation using vintage televisions to Super 8 film developed at home. My work is driven by a deep passion and understanding of audiovisual media, repurposing obsolete formats
to uncover their unique anachronistic textures, aesthetics, and character.
What fascinates me is not simply recreating the past, but reactivating it. I use devices, looks, and formats from the past, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens, pushing them into new, unexpected territories. I seek inspiration in the aesthetics and “limitations” of outdated technologies, creating temporal frictions that challenge and reshape the codes of audiovisual language.
My style is defined by a bold, 70s-inspired visual language, tactile materiality, nostalgic undertones, humorous and colorful storytelling, fashion-infused aesthetics, and a constant drive for media experimentation, merging retro moods with present-day sensibilities.
I’ve worked on campaigns for brands such as Adidas, Puma, Skechers, Benetton, AW LAB, Stranger Things, Zalando, Artibune, Diesel, and more, collaborating across Europe with a strong presence in Barcelona and Milan.
Beyond my personal work, I’m deeply devoted to the audiovisual world in all its forms. This translates into a versatile practice: I work as a director for social and TV campaigns, videomaker, assistant, motion designer, colorist, analog VFX artist, and video tech nerd. Occasionally, I step in front of the camera too as a model for photo shoots and runway shows, or as a performer, drawing on my past experience as a dancer and cabaret artist.
