TRIVENETO JURY
Silvia Maggi is an Italian filmmaker and visual artist based in Berlin. Her work moves across film, photography, and archival storytelling, blending the personal and the political through a poetic gaze. She explores the intersections between memory, identity, and collective resistance, tracing the emotional landscapes where private histories meet social transformation.
Her works have been shown internationally in festivals, art spaces, and universities, including Spazio Regione-VFC Foundation at Venice International Film Festival (IT), Centro de Arte de Vanguardia Neomudéjar (ES), Cineteca di Milano (IT), Dropcity Center for Architecture and Design (IT), MIX Festival (New York, USA), Yermilov Center of Contemporary Art (UA), and Festival International de Films de Femmes de Créteil (FR), among others.
Rooted in a deep curiosity for human experience, Maggi’s practice investigates the fragile boundaries between presence and absence, intimacy and politics, using art as a space of encounter, remembrance, and transformation.

ABD ALRAHMAN DUKMAK
Abd Alrahman Dukmak (born 1993) grew up in Damascus and moved to Beirut to study TV and Film. Abd completed his studies in Multimedia Arts at the IUAV University of Venice. For me, making art means being in the process, all the time. Outside the process, there is no longer life; the process becomes the subject. This subject attempts to be revealed within my research and in the final result. Perhaps because that’s what interests me in art.
