OUR VALUES
Resilience, Adventure, Respect, Genuineness, Conviction, Rigour.
Every SAE student is a diamond in the rough, driven by a great passion and with enormous potential that, together with us, grows and evolves. Our values are the tools through which our students are trained and then face the professional world, building brilliant careers in the creative media industry.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of SAE Institute Milan, students, together with alumni and staff, and in collaboration with Sidereus Production, created a series of web-talks that explore, in each episode, one of these values.
You can watch them in full further down this page!
Below, you’ll find the trailer of the Docufilm created by the students, with the support of alumni and staff, and in collaboration with Sidereus Productions, showing the backstage of this production and the in-studio creation of the soundtrack.
Memories of the Future
This short documentary, produced in collaboration with Sidereus Productions, offers a glimpse into life at SAE Milan, alongside the students, professionals, colleagues and friends who have contributed to our journey. In the Docufilm, we go behind the scenes of the making of the 6-episode web-talk series exploring our founding values: Resilience, Adventure, Respect, Genuineness, Conviction, Rigour.
