For the theme competition, “Solidarity and donation”, we accept Italian works belonging to any category, produced from 2006 to present (max 10 min.). “The goal of this competition is to give prominence to charity work as an experience that improves society, thanks to the commitment of those who devote some of their time and skills to provide a useful service to the community. The subject of the works should not be only bloodletting: it should rather convey the idea of solidarity through a wider reflection.”.

All works will be selected by the festival’s Artistic Direction, whose judgement is unquestionable. A selected jury (whose members are professionals either in the film or the entertainment industry) will assign the following awards:
