Cecilia Mangini
(Italy)

Cecilia Mangini (1927-2021) was a pioneering Italian documentary filmmaker, photographer, and screenwriter. Born in Mola di Bari, she was the first woman to direct documentaries in postwar Italy. She began her career as a street photographer before debuting in 1958 with Ignoti alla città, a collaboration with Pier Paolo Pasolini. Her militant cinema explored social inequality, women's labor conditions and the roots of fascism, often facing censorship. A self-described anarchist, she worked closely with her husband Lino Del Fra and continued creating until her final film in 2020.
