Nóstos is the first 2025 graduation film to begin its festival path, and on March 12 it will be screened in Milan at the Sguardi Altrove – Women’s International Film Festival. 

For this month’s Tracking the Story, we start with Simona Palmieri's reflections, the director. But a film is never a solitary act, as we see cinema as a process of co-creation, shaped by dialogue, friction, trust, and shared vision. That’s why Krystof Iobstraibizer, the cinematographer, and Giovanni Bez, the editor, have also added their voices to the conversation.

On Friday, 20 February, our dear friend and ZeLIG 2013 graduate Alexandra Kaufmann passed away after battling a serious illness.
