Laura Chiossone is an Italian director. Born in Milan, she followed a composite education, graduating in philosophy and studying theater. She began her career as a director in 2003 directing some short films, including ​“Routine”, a gray scale love story with Antonioni atmospheres and ​“Broadcast”. The exploration of the different video formats continues with the documentary “¿Necesitas algo nena?”, under the patronage of Amnesty International, which tells the story of Ángela María Aieta, a Calabrian emigrant who became one of the desaparecidos during the dictatorship in Argentina. In June 2013, her first feature film ​“Tra cinque minutes in scena” (made in 2012) was released in cinemas, a film, starring the actress Gianna Coletti, which mixes different languages, cinema, theater and documentary to tell «the life of an elderly mother and daughter and their love which is addiction and pain, but also joy and humor, [and which] are tied in a double knot to the theater, with its difficulties and passions» (La Repubblica). On August 29, 2019, ​“Genitori quasi perfetti”, a comedy that lightly stages the hell of children’s birthday parties: the compulsive parental chats about the event, the long preparations, the selection of animators, the solidarity cakes, the costumes of the children, the inevitable unexpected events and, above all, the parental dialectic during these holidays that is unleashed between jealousies, vanity and competition.
