Bio

Costanza J. Bani was born in Italy, where she studied and got a MA in German Literature and Film Studies. A DAAD scholarship brought her to Berlin and she stayed. She went back to attend the film school in Rome (SNC) and for her PhD thesis on drama theory, which she terminated in London. She subsequently did research work and taught at the University of Pisa and various film schools. But her ambition always drove her back to Berlin, both when she left Rome because accepted at the dffb, the German film academy Berlin, and when she started to work in the industry. She successfully completed the screenplay class with a script co-written with the Italian screenplay legend Suso Cecchi D’Amico and a producer’s class at isff, Institute for film and TV. As a sideline to her academic work she worked as a journalist, scriptwriter and script consultant. However, at some point she realized her true calling is in the overall process of filmmaking and producing with a special focus on content. So she worked for a wide array of international projects with the participation of German TV. I.a. Der Kampf um die Freiheit, 2013 (MDR/arte); Constructing Sochi, 2013 (WDR/arte); Max Beckmann, 2012 (NDR/arte); the series Country Villas in Tuscany, 2012 (ZDF/arte); Rushes, 2012 (3sat / documenta). Her multicultural background plus her passion for film, literature, acquisition, networking, financing, budgeting and media rights, make a skilled producer out of her, with a natural capacity for international co-productions. 2013 she joined Molly Aida Film, a Berlin based production company focusing on documentary co-productions and service-production realized in Germany or with German participation, both acting as a major or minor co-producer. I.a. The Forgotten Army by S. Astrup; Bitter Apricot by E.L. Volkmann; Janitouby A. Hattou; Mirny Mining Town by S. Pesapane. For other projects check: www.mollyaida.com.
Costanza J Bani is a proud EAVE graduate 2015.
