We will talk about the fragility and beauty of people and places with the authors Pino Strabioli and Stefano Jurgens ”. The 60 shorts were presented by the artistic director and creator of the Festival, Paola Tassone, who wanted to underline the presence in the nomination of many works of social denunciation on bullying, gender violence and racism. Created by the social promotion association “Università Cerca Lavoro”, the Festival promotes the work of young authors who, through images, represent not the simple story of a diversity, but the very essence of diversity, enhancing its multiple aspects and expressing them through the art of cinema, which has always given voice to thoughts, opinions and feelings. A Festival of ecological and social transition, whose main “mission” is to create a new solidarity society, a sensitive and integrated community that learns to support the weakest and respect the environment that surrounds it.
