ABOUT ME

I create through the rhythm, the soul and the music of editing

My name is Etienne Del Biaggio. I am a video editor, self-taught animator and original soundtrack composer based in Giubiasco (Ticino, Switzerland). I graduated in video editing and post-production from CISA Film School in Locarno (2019). I collaborated with Béla Tarr on the short film Alma by Dino Longo Sabanovic, which was presented at the Locarno Film Festival. From 2020 to 2023, I worked as Lead Editor at Fiumi Studios, producing documentaries and corporate videos for clients such as Siemens and EOC Ticino.

Editing and beyond

In addition to editing and soundtrack composition, I have developed strong skills in graphic design and animation, creating several animated short films across different projects.

My approach

Reliability, innovation and sensitivity are the core values of my work. I believe in cinema as a poetic medium to explore the relationship between reality and dream. I consider myself a reliable, innovative and passionate professional. What inspires me most in my work is client satisfaction, regardless of the style or format required.
