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.

I invite you to be part of [...]
