Films in competition

Cinema. So much Cinema.

UNICEF COMPETITIONS

The audience of the future.

We have been thinking about families, children, and teens by creating an increasingly diverse offering, ranging from the screening of Unicef Kids, Unicef Teens and Unicef Young Adults competition films to a schedule of workshops and activities for the very youngest.
For a memorable festival that can be enjoyed by everyone.

SPECIAL SECTIONS

Film to Discover and Special Screenings.

Lateral visions, bodies in motion, rebellious archives, distant memories, and animal gazes. From the dance-on-video of Moving Bodies to the dark, sensorial landscapes of Scott Barley, passing through the antispeciesist visions and postcolonial imagery of Trương Minh Quý.

With NAP POWER! we indulge in the luxury of rebellion with our eyes closed, while Mockumentary questions what we define as real and what is fucking fake. And with A Way of Seeing, we explore a century of avant-garde and documentary cinema, from 1900 to the 1970s.

Then there’s Princìpî Italiani, a look at the contemporary. And finally, a well of Special Screenings and event films.

SPECIAL GUESTS

Names That Matter, According to Us.

Each competition has its own jury. Some are names to discover, joining us at Lago for the first time, while others include juries made up of kids and teens, the popular jury (yes, you can be part of it too), and the Local Experts jury.

EXPANDED FESTIVAL

Dancing, Singing, Watching, Listening.

We never stop. A program of concerts before and after sunset, unexpected performances and installations in the village of Lago and within the new Satellite Pavilion. And don’t miss the food area (where you can eat and drink) in our new “Contemporary Capannone.”

ACTIVITIES FOR YOU

Breakfasts, Meetings, Workshops, and Masterclasses.

Every day, two events designed for the audience: one in the morning (at breakfast) and one before sunset (during the aperitif) to meet the festival’s guests. A program of creative workshops divided by age groups (but we’ve included everyone from 0 to 99 years old), masterclasses, and thematic round tables. Yes, you will definitely find something that intrigues you.

BAREFOOT INDUSTRY DAYS

Cinema Professionals
Barefoot, by the lake.

We have reinvented the idea of Industry Days: everyone together barefoot for two days by the lake. A program of meetings, masterclasses, group activities, and of course, sunset aperitifs. Two days of networking, professional interaction, and inspiration. Our “industry” days are the opposite of everything you find at other festivals. They are inclusive rather than exclusive, and access is granted with an industry accreditation.
