UNICEF KIDS COMPETITION

UNICEF KIDS IS THE LAGO FILM FEST COMPETITION SPONSORED BY UNICEF AND DESIGNED FOR THE ADULTS OF THE FUTURE.

Created with the dual objective of entertaining and making people think, this competition was conceived and designed to meet the needs of the young audience to which the festival has always paid particular attention.

From the most disparate styles and flavors, the short films in the selection deal with multiple themes that investigate the personal, family and emotional sphere from different and unexpected angles, offering interesting insights and reflections on the value of memories, the importance of interpersonal bonds, self-perception, respect for others and the environment.
