Emma Ricci Curbastro (Brescia, 1998) is an Italian-Spanish director, writer and screenwriter. Her work explores the female experience through a persistent pursuit of self-irony and a critical perspective on social and identity-related issues. By bringing primal instincts and physicality to the forefront, her stories reflect on human identity, self-acceptance, and the complexities of relationships, leading characters toward moments of intellectual awakening and the reclamation of their sense of self, often within the framework of magical realism.
