Gianfranco Rosi (Italian pronunciation: [dʒaɱˈfraŋko ˈrɔːzi]; born 30 November 1963) is an Italian-American filmmaker. He is most known for his documentaries, including 2013's Sacro GRA, for which he won the Golden Lion, and 2016's Fire at Sea, for which he won the Golden Bear and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary.
Rosi is the only documentary filmmaker to win two highest awards at the three major European film festivals (Venice, Berlin and Cannes), and is the one of the few directors to do it in the 21st century alongside Michael Haneke, Ang Lee, Ken Loach and Jafar Panahi.
