Flaminia Iacoviello

Flaminia Iacoviello is an Italian filmmaker who has built a notable career in Ireland and the UK, producing and directing documentaries and docu- series for prestigious broadcasters such as BBC, Channel 4, National Geographic, Netflix and Amazon Prime. 

She directed three episodes, including the series’ emotional finale, of the Netflix crime docu-series Vendetta: Truth, Lies and the Mafia which was described by The Guardian as “The Sopranos meets Tiger King”. She also directed The Murder of Meredith which was awarded “Best Documentary” at MIPCOM in Cannes. 

For her first feature documentary, Flaminia chose to steer away from the crime genre to bring more positive vibes to the big screen. Growing up in the region of Italy immortalised by Fellini’s dream-like films, she sees the liscio community as the purest expression of the local joyful spirit. After travelling the world and living in various countries, she feels that this film represents her coming home.
