A KNOT IN IDEA SPACE

Julia Set Lab kicked off in 2012, founded by filmmaker and producer Sandro Bocci together with a collective of freelance artists based in Italy.

Julia Set Lab is a visual research laboratory exploring the hidden and fascinating patterns of nature through new technologies and handcrafted tools. We actively blur the boundaries between documentary and art, science and nature, everyday life and dreams.

We produce feature films, documentaries, immersive experiences, fulldome and large-scale projection mapping installations, and collaborate on projects for cinema and new media art.

Our work is characterized by a prominent use of footage with high magnification fields of view. Generated by fluid dynamics, chemical reactions, or light rather than algorithmically-made digital content, these images possess a visual force unmatched by computer graphics and lend themselves naturally to immersive and large-scale environments, rich in enigmatic and unexpected reverberations.

Over the years, we have collaborated with National Geographic, Nutopia, Netflix, Sophisticated Films, Wild Bunch, Sycamore Pictures, IMAX Corporation, HBO, Buckeye Pictures, Waypoint Entertainment, FilmNation Entertainment, and NHK.
