Paolo Accogli

Paolo Accogli was born and grew up in the milanese countryside, in a roadman's house next to a railway, cradled by the passage of trains. In high school they train as an illustrator and graphic designer. At 19 they produce their first animated short, an awareness campaign about HIV, which wins two rewards and with which they start to get passionate about animation as a medium. At 20 they begin their studies at Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti, in which they attend the animation course, graduating with the production of the short Shemergency. In the future they see themselves working in the animation industry, trying to keep the focus on queer and trans* topics through personal work.
