Andrea Ciuchetti on composing the score of Torneranno i lupi
Torneranno i lupi is one of four Italian films in competition at Visions du Réel. One of the things that stays with you is its original score, composed by Andrea Ciuchetti.
We asked him about his process and his relationship with the film.
Torneranno i lupi will have its world première at Visions du Réel on 19 of April.
For this edition of Tracking the Story, we bring together the voices behind the film: director Bianca Vallino, alongside Esther Kreiner (cinematography) and Elisa Cabbai (editing).
Cinema, for us, is always a collective process, shaped through exchange, tension, and shared responsibility.

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.

2025 is a year of transition for ZeLIG and one full of new beginnings.
Our graduation films are now ready to start their journey into the world, while at the same time a new cycle opens with 30 students joining at the end of September.
