My name is Davide Ludovisi. As an author and director, I have depicted immigration along the Balkan route in "Balkan route - last stop" (Best Documentary at the Jahorina Film Festival 2020; Youth Jury Award at the Asti International Film Festival 2021) and in "Heritage of Mankind”. I also documented the reconstruction and auction in Paris of the fossil skeleton of the largest triceratops ever discovered in “Big John” (Special Mention at the International Archaeology Prize ‘Amedeo Maiuri’ 2024). Furthermore, I explored the contemporary relevance of Italo Svevo's most famous novel in “Zeno the Reckless” (Best Short Film at Firenze Archeofilm 2024).
