Grazie, Siracusa.
For making possible to 16 local, young trainees to join the XIV edition of Terre di Cinema.
This year, Siracusa’s own emerging talents stepped onto 35mm and 16mm sets, worked side by side with filmmakers from 20+ countries, and lived days that will stay with them forever.
Here are their voices:
“Unforgettable days with wonderful people. We learned so much — and had fun doing it.”
— Martina Maria Di Pietro
“I saw how difficult it is to make an audiovisual work… especially on film. A truly unforgettable experience.”
— Benedetto Lauricella
“Documenting the shoots and meeting people from around the world was incredibly exciting.”
— Lorenzo Bottaro
“Every year I learn something new. Inspiring to live set life with people from everywhere.”
— Sveva Assennato
“Shooting 16mm for the first time was a precious step in my growth as an artist.”
— Cristina Cosma
To all our trainees — Antonino, Benedetto, Ester, Sveva, Kevin, Damiano, Tommaso, Valentina, Ludovica, Cristina, Chris, Irene, Lorenzo, Martina, Nives, Samuele —
your energy shaped this edition.
And to Siracusa —
thank you for being a city where young filmmakers can dream, learn, and grow.

DAY 07 – CineCampus BTS Crew 🎬✨
Behind every frame of Terre di Cinema there is another story being told: the one crafted by our BTS Crew: they are capturing the pulse of TDC25 through images, videos, and on-set documentation.
The BTS Crew is part of the group of sixteen interns selected in Siracusa through a public call in collaboration with the Siracusa Film Commission. These young participants are divided across several CineCampus departments – Directing, Production, Cinematography, and BTS – actively contributing to every stage of the program while gaining first-hand professional experience.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Fotoluce Catania for their invaluable technical support, which makes it possible for our interns to work with professional-grade tools as they grow into the next generation of film and video professionals.
Terre di Cinema is not only about making films – it’s about nurturing new voices, building skills, and sharing the light of cinema with the community. 🌍🎥
