2010 I graduate at the documentary film school ZeLIG in cinematography. My diploma film UNFINISHED ITALY is screened at numerous international film festivals and won different awards.
I stay in Italy, where I also shoot my first feature film LA MEZZA STAGIONE, which celebrates its world premiere in Karlovy Vary. Shooting for CAFÉ WALDLUFT brings me back to my roots in Bavaria.
From 2014 to 2016 I live and work mostly for the German Television in Israel and Palestine.
2018 THE REAL THING from Benoit Felici screens at Hotdocs in Toronto and continues to travel to Festivals all over the world. It opens the Architecture Film Festival in Rotterdam with a full house and I get the Award for BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY at London Raindance Film Festival!
THE COLOR OF JUSTICE of Marjolaine Grappe has its world premiere at the DPH in Copenhagen.
The world premiere of LAS HERMANAS DE ROCINANTE takes place at DOK.fest Munich with the nomination for the ARRI AMIRA CAMERA AWARD. At festival dei popoli in Florence, in international competition it wins the AUDIENCE AWARD!
2020 I graduate at the Filmuniversität Babelsberg Konrad Wolf with "Master of Fine Arts in Cinematography".
2019 Valentina Pedicinis cinema documentary FAITH has its world premiere at IDFA and travels to many international Festivals gaining different awards, like at Doc Barcelona for "best Documentary"!
Nowadays me and my family live in Marseille and I work mostly on creative feature-length documentaries, and fiction films, but also on documentary productions for international television stations like ARTE/ ZDF, ARD, France 3, Canal +, Rai, and others.
My latest feature film GEISTER just had its premiere at Max Ophüls Film Festival in competition!
