Titta Cosetta Raccagni

Titta Cosetta Raccagni graduated in film history and got a filmmaking degree from Milan’s Scuola di cinema in 2001. She has always been active in the Italian underground scene, making reports, documentaries, shorts, and visuals, focusing especially on experimentation and research.

Manga Kissa (2011), the short she made in Tokyo, was selected by Ridley Scott’s team to be part of his film Life in a Day. She has been working with production company Filmmaker for ten years, during which she made Lezione di anatomia (2006), winner of Milan’s Sguardi Altrove Internazional Festival, Dalle mani (2009), and Martesana, le stagioni in città, a project in four episodes that is still in the making.

Declaration

film director

“Diario Blu(E) is an introspective journey, a trip into my past self, twenty-five years ago. I recognize a lot of things about myself, but there are also other times when I’d like to tell that girl ‘Be strong, don’t worry, you’ll make it through this!’ After experiencing again that period in my life, I inevitably compared it to my current life and to that of all the LGBTQI people out there (pardon my label). Overall, the situation is definitely more open and serene. But discriminations haven’t disappeared, especially for adolescents, as cases of homophobia or bullying appear in the news every day. I made this film especially for them, for those teenage boys and girls who are having a hard time at that age.”
