Hi everyone, my name is Elettra Dafne, I started as a dancer at the age of twelve and since then I have been working both on sets and in post-production as actress, a.d./1st a.d., continuity, screenwriter and director for movies, tv shows, concerts, radio and commercials as freelance.

I wrote and directed the documentary "The Sound of Beauty, A Journey Behind the Scenes", a 30 minutes special about the Eurovision Song Contest aired on Rai 1.
Currently I am writing a Fantasy trilogy.

The Sound of Beauty, a journey behind the scenes (
2022 )
Documentary by Rai 1 writer and director The Sound of Beauty - A journey behind the scenes is a 30 minutes special about the Eurovision Song Contest 2022. Among artists, countries, cultures and traditions very different from one and other, to me this event is first of all a wonderful human experience as well as a singing one, a journey around the world. Shot over a month and a half and began when the performers had not arrived yet and the set design was "only" a project on paper, this special would like to offer a complete vision of this event, from the very beginning to the final evening. All through interviews with directors, sound engineers, directors of photography, presenters, costume designers, make-up artists and insiders who explain what their role consists of while high quality images reveal how a television shot is set up.
