Sabrina Baracetti was born in Udine in 1967 and graduated in 1994 in Literature with a thesis on Vito Pandolfi’s film Gli Ultimi, a rediscovery work which helped the subsequent restoration of the film at the end of the 1990s. Since 1991 she’s been involved in programming and promoting CEC activities, becoming its president in 1995. In 1998 she coordinated a retrospective dedicated to the history of Hong Kong cinema, which in 1999 evolved into Udine Far East Film Festival under her direction. She has been a member of many festival juries, as well as being a nomination advisor for the Asian Film Awards.
