We are THRILLED to show you the official poster for this year’s Project Paradiso film ‘G.L.A.D.I.S’! 🤖🌋

“Four unruly volcanology students arrive at Europe’s most active volcano, Mount Etna, to test G.L.A.D.I.S – their prototype eruption prediction device. But as their priorities shift and romances simmer, all readings point to catastrophe: guaranteed.”

Keep your eyes peeled for our official trailer, BTS videos and photos from our fabulous premier exclusive to cast and crew 🌟

Not heard of ‘PROJECT PARADISO’ before? Find out more below:

Project Paradiso is a prestige project from Young Film Academy (YFA), offering a select group of YFA’s most promising students (aged 16-19) the chance to create a stunning short film in a cinematic location in Sicily, Italy.
Project Paradiso 2025 was supported by Registered UK Charity Prospero World.

Project Paradiso is an ambitious collaborative project that aims to unite educational training with a real-world film industry opportunity – offering participants the experience of a lifetime.

Guided by YFA staff, talented writing students crafted a compelling script for the actors and filmmakers to bring to life.

In February 2025, the filmmaking and acting students joined YFA staff in Sicily to shoot the film against the majestic backdrop of Mount Etna.

The film was then edited and post-produced to the highest industry standards. 🎬
