Students, filmmakers, and cinema lovers,
It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the fifteenth edition of the LANTERNA International University Film Festival.
This is no ordinary edition: we’re celebrating fifteen years of stories, voices, and narratives that have crossed our lives and left a mark.
In this very special edition, we want to look back with gratitude and look forward with boldness. Fifteen years of university cinema is not just a journey—it’s a statement of purpose. Of who we were, who we are, and what we aspire to tell.
Cinema is not just what we see:
It’s what we feel without knowing how to explain it.
It’s what connects us without saying a word.
It’s what, from the university, invites us to see the world differently.
I invite you to be part of this 15-year cinematic journey—to share your vision, to move us with your stories, and to show, once again, that university cinema has a lot to say… and that it says it with power, with truth, and with art.
Thank you for being part of this story.
See you at FICU LANTERNA XV.
With all my admiration and excitement,
Carlotta de Pompeis
Director of the LANTERNA International University Film Festival
