Stefano Miraglia (Málaga, 1988) is an independent curator, visual artist, and film programmer based in Paris. His curatorial projects center on exhibitions featuring established and emerging moving image artists, with particular attention to long-term collaborative processes. It also extends to online initiatives: he is the founder of movimcat, a project dedicated to the dissemination of artists’ moving image, and has co-curated digital programs for Nomadica, LABA Brescia, The Wrong Biennale, Istanbul Experimental and Chute Film Coop. Since 2018, he has worked as a film programmer, curating and presenting several screenings of experimental and artists’ films, and is currently a member of the prgoramming team of the Pesaro Film Festival in Italy. His work has involved collaborations with a wide range of art centers, film festivals, and cultural institutions, including Bétonsalon – centre d’art et de recherche, Courtisane, Fabrica research centre, Festival de l’Histoire de l’Art, Festival des Cinémas Différents et Expérimentaux de Paris, Kino Climates, KORA – Contemporary Arts Center, La Box – ENSA Bourges, La Rada – Spazio per l’Arte contemporanea, Media City Film Festival, Optica – Centre d’art contemporain. His first book, Donda Retrieved: Inquiry Into a Disappearance (Adriatico Book Club, 2026), is one of the outcomes of his long-term activities towards the rediscovery and reappraisal of the work of writer and filmmaker Ellis Donda (1947–2023). Alongside his curatorial practice, his films and installations explore the connections between artistic creation, personal memory, and the perception of space, combining documentary and abstract imagery with the cognitive and perceptual qualities of other artistic practices, such as collage and noise music. Presented internationally, his work has been shown in exhibition spaces and film institutions including e-flux Film, the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab, Cinematek — Cinémathèque royale de Belgique, the Beijing International Short Film Festival, and Prismatic Ground.
