UNICEF TEENS COMPETITION

UNICEF TEENS is the UNICEF-sponsored competition conceived by Lago Film Fest for the teen audience.

Born in 2019 as a rib of the broader project GIRINI, this competition stems from the need to make the project even more inclusive and create, therefore, a schedule of activities and content usable by teenagers.

 

In just four years, this section of the competition has managed to reach very high quality standards, so much so that it boasts in competition important short films coming from 13 countries around the world and selected in the most important international festivals, from the Clermont Ferrand festival to the Oscars.

 

The dreams, the hopes but also the anxieties of a generation told in 205 minutes.
