Matilde Croxatto – them

This film is an intimate exploration of masculinity through the prism of faith. We discover the testimonies of eight young men through their relationship with God. Through interviews and scenes from everyday life, they reveal the beauty and complexity of this relationship. Based on my own experience as a believer, I've come to realise that faith, with its vulnerable and intimate qualities, can be seen as an experience that no longer affects traditional masculinity. To verify this, I gave the floor to men who choose the resilient path of faith on a daily basis. Their devotion is brought to light, an expression of the heart that goes beyond gender stereotypes and invites reflection on the humility of the individual towards an entity greater than himself.

Unseen This course introduces students to the creation of a seven-image series built around the theme Unseen. They will learn to combine set design, characters, and lighting to produce strong, coherent staged images. Through a practical and technical approach, the course develops their ability to conceive and manage a complete photographic project, direct models, work with natural and artificial light, and collaborate under conditions similar to professional editorial or commercial shoots. Students will refine their photographic vision while preparing for the creative and technical demands of the industry.

What is good portrait? What technique do you choose? What kind of light do you use? Daylight or flash? What location or backdrop do you choose for? How do you choose your subject? How do you approach someone you don’t know? In this workshop, the students have explored what makes a good portrait and which tools you can use to create one.
