Bobby Abate

Bobby Abate came of age immersed in Internet subcultures charged by alter egos, super-natural fantasies, and vice - dynamics that shape his darkly humorous works in film and video. Bobby's work has most recently been exhibited at The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao (2009), The New York Film Festival (2009,10), the Museum of Modern Art, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. Bobby's first feature, "Certain Women" premiered as an official selection of the 2005 International Film Festival Rotterdam and won Best Feature at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. He is a recipient of the Princess Grace Award in Filmmaking. Bobby was a fellow at the 2006 Screenwriter's Lab at the Binger Institute in Amsterdam for the 1969 period film "Magic Minerals" which was also selected for the Berlinale Talent Project Market. In 2010, Bobby completed two shorts, "The Evil Eyes" starring Tina Sloan and "Love Rose."
