His editorial work played a great role in his film practice as an author, particularly in narrative structure and world-building. He directed his first short, Arsenic, during a cinematography workshop at the Sorbonne in Paris. His latest short, Il Varco (The Way Through), is a political science-fiction film set in a dystopian Italy of 2035. The project was funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, received support from local municipalities and the National Association of Italian Partisans (ANPI), and was shot by a majority-female crew.
In his work, Succio explores the intersections of politics, collective memory, and resistance, with a particular interest in narratives that fight imperialism and shape new visions for the future.
