In 2005 she directed Per sempre, a documentary about some Italian women's monastic communities. In 2007 she directed Vogliamo anche le rose, a poetic documentary about fifteen years of struggle for the social emancipation of women, linking the private plan with collective history through the use of archive footage and newspaper cuttings. In 2012 she released Tutto parla di te, a feature-length fiction film that uses languages such as dance, animation, auteur photography and repertory stock images to talk about the affective ambivalence of a mother. She won the Taodue "Camera d'Oro" Award for Best Director at the 2012 Rome Film Festival. In 2014 she made Confini, a short film that forms part of the collective film 9×10 Novanta, made using archive footage from the Instituto Luce and poems by Mariangela Gualtieri.
