From 2014 the Department of the Italian Oriental Studies Institute of La Sapienza University of Rome, in relation to the collaboration activated with the MedFilm Festival – which provides the participation of the best students of the Department in the Interuniversity Jury of the Festival – has activated a series of internships aimed at deepening and develop the issues that emerged during the viewing of the films proposed by the Festival.

The internship therefore provides the participation of students in all the events of the Festival (screenings, meetings with the authors, debates, masterclasses, book presentations, exhibitions etc.) and continues with a series of in-depth activities with the participation of film experts from the festival and professors from the Department, dedicated to sharing and studying together, from different points of view, and stylistic choices of the Festival’s works.

In this way students have the possibility, thanks to the cinema, to discover the links with the study paths they are pursuing.
