Salvatore Mereu (b. 1965, Dorgali, Sardinia) studied at the University of Bologna, then at the Scuola Nazionale di Cinema, graduating in 1997 as a director. While still in school he shot two shorts, Prima della Fucilazione and Miguel, awarded at various festivals (Locarno, Clermont-Ferrand, Annecy). Three Steps Dancing (Ballo a tre passi, 2003) is his feature debut. He himself claims that the movie partakes of the neorealist tradition in its interest in ordinary protagonists and stories, as well as in location filming.
