Cinema schools in Italy and Sweden: bridging perspectives
Possibilities of cultural exchanges between Sweden and Italy for film-makers and Audio Visual-artists
The event is hosted both by the IIC and SKH, two institutions located in a short walking distance from each other.
The aim for this meeting is to create cooperation opportunities for the future, both in terms of student and teacher exchanges within the Erasmus Program and later in the afternoon presenting other types of collaboration beyond Erasmus – through the Embassies, Villa San Michele, Circolo Scandinavo and other European programs. (You will find links to the participating organisations at the bottom of the page.)
The programme for the afternoon is open to the public.
During the afternoon various speakers present co-production, co-financing and or exchange opportunities to strengthen the dialogue and cooperation between Italy and Sweden in the film and media landscape. After these presentations we show six films made by students/alumni from both SNC and SKH, followed by a mingle.

In a dark, velvety theatre there is a first kiss between Pietro and Tommaso. When the lights come back on, however, the two students have different expectations of what might follow. The chaos of awakening desire in its complexity and sensuality is told and made almost physically tangible through looks and gestures, approach and retreat, hope and fear.

A young girl tries to keep her “gama-gutchi” alive while her father is in a coma, at risk of becoming a vegetable.

Ciociaria, early 1950s. A young peasant girl is chosen to participate in the Miss Italy selections, but her body measurements are not those required by the contest. Undergoing a terrible process of physical transformation seems to be the price to pay to be elected Queen.
Get Ready With Me – by Jonathan Etzler (director) and Johan Lundström (producer), 28 min 14 sec.
Aspiring youtuber Vendela decides to get up infront of her high school class and show a disturbing video that disrupts the lesson and causes her teacher Lukas to fear for her life.
Rosa E Pezza (Cut from the Same Cow) – by Giulia Regini (director) together with the film's producer, 17 min.
Sergio works in the family butcher's shop and is a faithful boy, unlike his brother Flavio who has been away from home for a long time because of his conflictual relationship with his father and the business. When Flavio returns to the village, Sergio pushes for his reintegration. His father's intrusive presence makes it impossible for them to live together.
2008 LOVES YOU – by Nellie Lexfors (director) and Iman Ismail (producer), 15 min.
Sam returns to his hometown after being away for a couple of months, and the atmosphere is tense as he reconnects with his childhood friend Kevin. During an evening filled with alcohol and cigarettes, Sam wrestles with his conflicting emotions about his old social circles.
