Carlotta Cristiani will be a guest in Treviglio on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at 8:45 p.m., for a new event in the “TreviglioCinema Festival: The Crafts of Cinema” series at the Teatro Nuovo Treviglio. The event brings to the stage one of Italian cinema’s most acclaimed film editors, who for over thirty years has been a key figure in a profession often little known to the general public but crucial to a film’s success.
Born in Milan in 1967, Carlotta Cristiani lives between Milan and Rome. She graduated from the “Luchino Visconti” Civic Film School and, since 1992, has been editing fiction films and documentaries that have been screened at major international film festivals. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with some of the most influential directors on the contemporary Italian film scene: Silvio Soldini, with whom she has worked on films such as *Pane e tulipani*, *Agata e la tempesta*, *Giorni e nuvole*, and *Il comandante e la cicogna*; Leonardo Di Costanzo, on films such as *L’intervallo* and *Ariaferma*; Marina Spada, on *Come l’ombra* and *Il mio domani*; and Laura Bispuri, with whom she edited *Vergine giurata* and *Figlia mia*. She has also worked with directors such as Bruno Oliviero, Massimo Venier, and Alice Rohrwacher, building an extensive filmography that spans both auteur cinema and international productions.
Her work has earned her two David di Donatello nominations for Best Editor—for *Brucio nel vento* and *Giorni e nuvole*—as well as a Nastro d’Argento nomination for Best Editing for *Pane e tulipani*. Alongside her professional career, Carlotta Cristiani teaches film editing at the “Luchino Visconti” Civic Film School, passing on to new generations the technical and narrative tools of a craft that operates behind the scenes yet shapes the rhythm, meaning, and emotion of every film.
Once again, Carlotta Cristiani will be interviewed by Andrea Chimento, editor-in-chief of LongTake, a professional journalist, and film critic. Chimento has been writing for the online edition of *Il Sole 24 Ore* since 2009, where he reviews new movie releases weekly and covers major Italian and international film festivals; he also contributes to industry publications such as *Cineforum* and *La Rivista del Cinematografo*. He is also a university professor, teaching courses on film history and film criticism at universities in Milan, and has published several monographs dedicated to directors and themes in contemporary cinema. Throughout his career, he has received major awards for his work as a film critic.
