Description

The Giffoni Film Festival was born in 1971 from a Claudio Gubitosi’s idea: i.e. promoting and developing cinema for young people elevating it from the marginal position it had back in those days, and leading it where it belongs, e.g. a high quality genre capable of “penetrating” the market.

Over the years two things have turned out to be essential and are still the unreplaceable pillars of the Giffoni Film festival concept: a jury exclusively made up of young people and setting the festival in the original small provincial town of Giffoni Valle Piana.

Over the years the number of jurors has by far out grown 3,000 and they come from over 50 different countries embracing all the world’s continents.

The age of jurors ranges from 6 to 18 and they are placed into four official competitive sections according to their age group. Two further sections have been added for children aged 3-5 (Elements+3) and for over 18s (Generator +18). The jurors view, assess, discuss about and vote for films in the sections.

The Ente Autonomo Festival Internazionale del Cinema per Ragazzi (Giffoni Experience) announces the 2nd International call for entries for the creation of the artwork of the 44th Giffoni Film Festival (July 19-27 2014) poster.

For the second year in a row Giffoni Experience decided to ask the International community of youth, artists and designers to work on the 2nd International contest for the creation of the poster. Following the success of the first edition of the contest (700 participants from 28 countries) with Hungarian artist András Baranyai’s artwork chosen for the poster Giffoni continues to share the creation of its program with its audience.
