The Europe of the young at Giffoni
Opened by the premiere of the latest Harry Potter film, the 37th edition of the Giffoni Film Festival through July 21 brings together through its traditional young and very young audiences.
The 2,000 young jury members, who come from over 30 countries (for the first time Moldavia, Malta and Greece as well) must judge the films of the five competitive sections: Kidz (for 6-9 year-olds), First Screen (9-12), Free to Fly (12-14), Y Gen (for adolescents up to the age of 19); and Sguardi inquieti, which breaks with a 30 year-old taboo and will be voted on by adults, but only those accompanied by a minor.
A teeming program thought up by Artistic Director Claudio Gubitosi is this year dedicated to the "boundary": a physical space of separation as well as a meeting point between cultures and the fine line between childhood and adulthood.
