Dear students, filmmakers, and cinema lovers,

We are thrilled to announce the fourteenth edition of FICU LANTERNA!

This year marks the beginning of a journey that goes beyond the mere projection of images; we want to dive even deeper, exploring what lies beyond the screen.

This year's theme, *Beyond the Screen*, aims to focus on the emotions, sensations, and connections that cinema evokes, also highlighting the aspects of film projections that we often fail to see. We want to demonstrate that cinema is not just about the visual; it is a true experience that transcends the limits of the screen.

Cinema is a universal language [...]
