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 an art that can reach both the mind and heart of people, placing importance not only on what can be seen, but also on what can be felt.

Cinema is a universal language that communicates with everyone, regardless of cultural, linguistic, or social barriers. It is such a powerful medium that through it, we can explore the complexity of the human being in all its wonder, and with this edition, we aim to celebrate its power to go beyond the surface and explore human emotions.

We invite you to participate in this edition of the festival, share your vision, and be part of an event that continues to transform the way we experience cinema.

With deep gratitude and excitement, we await you at FICU LANTERNA 2024, to discover together what lies beyond the screen.

Best wishes,
Carlotta de Pompeis
Head of the Call for Entries Committee
