⚠️ The trap
Close match, but 'dirigere' more commonly means to manage/lead or conduct music. For directing a film Italians usually say 'dirigere un film' or 'girare un film'. 'Il regista dirige il film' = the director directs the film.
To say "to aim or guide; to manage; to make a film" in Italian:
dirigere
"dirigere" in English means:
to direct, manage, lead; to conduct (an orchestra)
Example
"Chi dirige l'orchestra stasera?"
