On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Rebeca Spiegel:

“I’m still figuring out who I am as a filmmaker, but so far I’ve been really drawn to female stories that use fantasy elements as a way to explore emotions and things that sometimes are too difficult to talk about it. I have also enjoyed using mixed media as a form to visually explore those themes, such as stop motion. As a writer and director, my work is mainly inspired by magical realist films such as Pan's Labyrinth, Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, and Amelie. - Rebeca Spiegel”

“"A rising junior in high school, Celine Ebert, discovered her passion for filmmaking just last year at school. With an innate desire to elicit strong emotions from her audience, Celine particularly enjoys experimenting with different shots and music, leveraging these elements to evoke powerful reactions from viewers.

Beyond her love for filmmaking, Celine harbors a deep-seated passion for promoting female representation in both politics and the workforce. She recognizes the significance of amplifying the voices and perspectives of young women within these domains. She has taken it upon herself to shed light on the experiences, views, and efforts of young women in the United States, specifically within politics. By capturing authentic and thought-provoking interviews with young women, Celine ensures that their stories reach a broader audience, fostering a sense of empathy, understanding, and urgency for change. Celine's most recent documentary has been selected for multiple prestigious film festivals around the globe. The film serves as a powerful vehicle for raising awareness and encouraging discussions on the issues surrounding female representation.

In addition to her short documentary, Celine has also experimented with narrative storytelling. Her recent short film titled ""Obsessed"" revolves around a female protagonist who defies the conventional stereotype of being fragile and weak. Instead, she retaliates against her stalker, making him wish he never messed with her, to begin with. Her short film ""Obsessed"" has earned a nomination for the Best Super Short Film Award at the Student World Impact Film Festival.

As Celine looks toward the future, she remains determined to make a lasting impact with her films. With each project, she aims to break down barriers, illuminate underrepresented voices, and contribute to a more inclusive and diverse cinematic landscape. Through her dedication and commitment, Celine Ebert is set to become a trailblazing filmmaker, advocating for the empowerment of young women and effecting meaningful change through her storytelling."”

On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Manuel Sorgo:

“Manuel Sorgo born on 09/01/2002 in Milan to a family of mixed nationality, I started to get passionate about cinema thanks to the great classics of steven spielberg such as jaws and indiana jones and then focussing later on the musical aspect of cinema. During my higher education in advertising graphics I started to be a fan of lars von trier's cinema and HBO series photography. Thanks to a school project realised by Chiara Maria D'Angelo (Professor and ScoreMusic Composer) and Vito Sugameli (Videomaker), I met schoolmates with the same passion as me, with the same focus to prove something. We shot our first short film, Noise, in which the protagonist is the little cross-section of everyday life expressed through images, sounds and music, where the inconveniences that each student has experienced at least once are protagonists.”

On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Pency Lucero:

“At the young age of three, I witnessed my father’s passing at the hands of my mother’s cousin. This shaped my entire belief system about the world and what I would like to do about it. I was always drawn to the art of documentary filmmaking due to its ability to capture the essence of reality, challenge perceptions, and foster empathy. By delving into diverse cultures, communities, and individuals, documentaries have the power to bridge gaps and encourage understanding among different groups of people. Through my work, I aim to give a voice to the voiceless, shedding light on the experiences and struggles of individuals and communities that often go unnoticed. I want to unveil untold stories, like mine, and amplify the voices of those who have been silenced by societal norms, discrimination, or political oppression.”
