Chaconne
Francesca’s short film CHACONNE, written by Thom Petty was selected for Underwire Film Festival, Kerry Film Festival, Jukebox International Film Festival, Kinofilm Festival in Manchester and Bozeman International Film Festival. It was selected WINNER for best score at the International Sound & Film Music Festival for music composed by Simon Fisher Turner and WINNER at the Amsterdam International Film Festival for Best Screenplay.
“My passion for CHACONNE lies in its subtle rendering of a fleeting moment in two peoples’ lives; a moment which on the face of it is insignificant but, in its effect, is huge. It’s a statement of faith in human nature, a raging at the danger of increased isolation, with added heart and a lightness of touch.”
Director | Girl
Written and directed by Francesca, GIRL is intentionally low-spec in style to reflect the feeling of a young girls’ unformed world. It was inspired by her observations of the secret currents in her daughter’s life. At thirteen, on the cusp of adulthood, a girl yearns to be part of the group of older teenagers on the beach. The film documents that yearning and catches that fleeting moment in a young girl’s life.
