Gazes that tell the story of cinema: IED students are the official photographers of the 43rd Torino Film Festival
Date
27 October 2025
From 21 to 29 November 2025, the Torino Film Festival returns to light up the city—bringing back the curious, passionate gaze of IED Turin students, who will be behind the lens as official photographers of the 43rd edition.
For the thirteenth consecutive year, seven third-year students from the Three-year Photography Course will narrate the festival through images capable of capturing its atmosphere, faces, and emotions. Under the guidance of photographer and lecturer Antonio La Grotta and with coordination by photographer and photo editor Giulia Ticozzi, they will move between screenings, talks, and red carpets, turning a learning experience into a true on-the-ground documentary photography lab.
The collaboration with the National Museum of Cinema – Maria Adriana Prolo Foundation, the festival’s organizing body, offers a unique opportunity to put into practice the skills acquired during theoretical and practical lessons. The students work with a client of international standing, learning to manage timelines, languages, and responsibilities within a real project—a path that strengthens their independence and their ability to read and portray the complexity of reality through a photographic gaze.
With this initiative, IED renews its commitment to training professionals who can combine technique, creativity, and critical awareness, confirming itself as an open and inclusive space for research. The Istituto Europeo di Design has always promoted an educational model that integrates theoretical knowledge and practical application, where design—understood as vision and responsibility—becomes a tool for social, cultural, and economic transformation.
In this perspective, the collaboration with the Torino Film Festival is not only a teaching project but also a collective narrative: that of a generation of young creatives who, through images, learn to observe and interpret the world.
