Who We Are

ASP Alumni

Aspirational Film Festival is organized by ASP Alumni, the association connecting former students of Alta Scuola Politecnica — the joint honors program of Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino, uniting engineering, architecture and design in one multidisciplinary class. Since 2004, ASP has trained generations of cross-disciplinary talents; ASP Alumni keeps that community connected and active — and now, imagining the future together on screen.
