Lee and doctoral researcher Silvia Cipelletti at the Accademia di Architettura di Mendrisio (AAM), the course connects the analytical and creative processes of video essay production with the architectural sensibilities of the Accademia di Architettura in Mendrisio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-c80fb7\">The final project\u00a0\u201cKey Words for Key Films\u201d, presents a \u201ccinematic lexicon\u201d combining words with films from the 2020s to form a moving glossary of our era. The works were exhibited at the\u00a0Museo in summer 2025.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-c80fb7\">Additionally, students produced videographic experiments\u00a0exploring cinema\u2019s shifting materialities.
