Filmmaker Marghe Morello is preparing her upcoming fiction feature film, whose script will participate in LabColombia 2026, alongside a new documentary and the second edition of the Danza No Foco videodance festival. With a career spanning 25 years in the audiovisual sector, the Italian-born director and multidisciplinary artist continues to expand a personal artistic language bridging performing arts, cinema, and television.
From Santiago de Compostela to International Festivals
Morello began her audiovisual career in Santiago de Compostela creating promotional videos for theatrical, circus, and dance companies, music bands, and venues such as Sala Nasa. Her independent work includes writing, directing, and producing music videos, short films, and documentaries that have aired on national television networks and secured domestic and international awards. Her formal training includes a postgraduate degree in cinematography production from the Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya in Barcelona, a master’s degree in creative documentary from Pompeu Fabra University, and studies in camera and lighting techniques at the Asian Academy of Film and Television in India.
Morello Produces Cultural Programs for Televisión De Galicia
In recent years, Morello has produced fiction web series, programs, and documentaries for the digital platform of Televisión de Galicia. Her recent credits as screenwriter, director, and executive producer include the promotional video for Santiago Turismo’s Fiestas del Apóstol in 2017 and the documentary feature La memoria de los peregrinos for the Fundación Jacobea in 2019 under the O Teu Xacobeo program. Between 2023 and 2025, she helmed cultural television programs such as Danza No Foco, Música no Foco, and Espazo Mural—the latter selected for the Celtic Media Fest—alongside the fiction web series A Ghavota and the documentary series Terra de Cómics.
Current Productions and Festival Circuit
Her debut fiction feature script, La niña y el vacío, was developed during the 2022 LabGuion workshop in Colombia and reached the semifinal stage in three national festivals. Meanwhile, her short film Aquarium—subsidized by the Xunta de Galicia, sponsored by the Deputación de Pontevedra, and acquired by Televisión de Galicia—is currently active on the festival circuit, having screened at 10 national and international events.
