Floria Sigismondi

Canadian artist and filmmaker

In the history of cinema, Floria Sigismondi is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Floria Sigismondi as Canadian artist and filmmaker.

Floria Sigismondi was born at Pescara in 1965. Her recorded nationality is Canada. She trained at OCAD University.

By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.

Floria Sigismondi is credited as film director, photographer and screenwriter.

Her name is attached above all to writing and directing The Runaways, for directing music videos for performers including Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, David Bowie, Rihanna, Marilyn M. Cinema keeps its people visible long after the industry that produced them has changed shape.

She was nominated for Juno Award for Video of the Year, Juno Award for Video of the Year and Juno Award for Video of the Year.

That the work was made from Canada shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.

Floria Sigismondi is still working, and the shape of the career is not yet settled.
