Lucrecia Frassetto

Lucrecia Frassetto is an audiovisual maker and animator. She studied Cinematography and New Media at the Patagonian University Institute of Arts and received a Master's in Creative Writing at Tres de Febrero University, Buenos Aires. She works in digital animation in documentaries, movies, series, stop motion, and show lighting. She has taught audiovisual language and photography workshops for teachers, teenagers, and children for the Kine Cultural and Educational Foundation, financed by AECID and BID. She is a member of the research groups Palimpsestos (UNTREF) coordinated by María Negroni, and Las raras, an Argentine poetry magazine from the 90s (UNTREF) coordinated by Jorge Monteleone.

Lucrecia Frassetto’s project is a documentary based on stories recounted by her grandfather Nino (92), an Italian immigrant who moved to Argentina in 1949. Settled in Río Negro, he would stay up at night drawing and thinking about mechanisms and future inventions, even as his “everyday self” dealt with daily reality. Lucrecia makes animations; her grandfather makes machines. How do reality and fiction help us cope with the migratory process? Without stories, who are we? What part remains, and what part disappears?
