Born in Turin in 1978, Alessandro Bernard began his studies in Humanities with an anthropological focus. When a well-known professor refused to accept his audiovisual paper on The Masche of Upper Canavese during an exam session (a work he had painstakingly produced for the time), he decided to change path and graduated from the Multidams program.
Since 2006, he has alternated his passion for creative documentary filmmaking and new technologies, working both as a writer and director of documentary films: Space Hackers (2007, 52’), P101, The Machine Who Changed the World (2011, 52’), Waste Mandala (2015, 52’), This Space Could Be Yours (2023, 70’), The Forest Code (2025, 90’), and as a writer and producer of cross-media projects (Transiti – Rediscovery, Linfe, The Busker, Mama’s Got the Blues, among others).
Since 2015, he has been a regular collaborator of I Cammelli, where he has taken on various creative and production roles. Initiated into a love for radio transmission by Achille Judica Cordiglia, the protagonist of his first film, in 2022 Bernard fulfilled a lifelong dream by beginning to collaborate with RAI and RAI Play Sound on the creation of podcasts and radio documentaries. Among these are Poliuretano Espanso – Forty Years After the Cinema Statuto Fire, Il guardiano del ceppo – Antennae (Best Sound Design Podcast Award 2023), Un comitato per via Arquata, DIORAMI – Botanical Wonders in Eight Acts, Cellule Immaginali, and many others.
