Simone Tringali 

BA [Hons] Film + Television Production

Simone was born in Messina, Sicily, Italy. He started making his first short films with an old camera at the age of 10. Early projects include 'La Perla Lunare' (2009), 'La Gabbia Della Società' (2012), 'L'Uomo Che Fischia' (2013) and the short documentary 'Il Lago Di Arignano, Un'Oasi Tra le Colline' (2014). During his time at National Film School (IADT), he directed and produced some short films such as 'Dispatcher' (2021), 'Narciso' (2020), 'Follow' (2018), 'Backlight' (2018), and 'About Me' (2017). Follow was selected for screening at many film festivals around the world.

Backlight (Short Film, Experimental, 2018)


Sometimes I wonder what would be like to travel space and time, to reach the most far known place in the Universe and look down. Observing the Earth, the light we'd see would be from the past. Breaking lightspeed and the shape of space may be the only way to allow us to travel back in time and relive what has been.

Via Roma (Art Film, 2019)


A visual expression of a traumatic event.

Thesis: Nostalgia and TV Seriality - How Looking Back at the Past Helps Understanding the Present

In my thesis, I looked at nostalgia and TV seriality. Firstly I was influenced by Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma (2018) and how the director did a meticulous work of reconstruction of the settings, characters and props based on his actual memories. I later developed my analysis on the concept of nostalgia and postmodernism using as main source Fredric Jameson’s Postmodernism, Or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism. I have then looked into the marketing of nostalgia and argued the reasons why we all feel such a strong bond with nostalgia. This was followed up by the analysis of three main TV series in particular: Stranger Things by Matt and Ross Duffer, Shane Meadows’s This Is England and Stefano Sollima’s Romanzo Criminale.
