BRIEF
In order to promote the culture of integration, the Disability Pride Italy offers to filmmakers the chance to create short audiovisual works on the theme of disability - intended as a marked decrease in quality of life due to diseases and / or traumatic event - compelling storytelling direct to the public. The goal is to draw attention on ignored problems of disabled people, bearing in mind the slogan of the Disability Pride Italy 2017 "don’t’ hide yourself", addressed both to disabled and able-bodied: to the first ones for pushing them to ask loudly the respect of their rights, the latters to support these claims.

In Italy being disabled means to have enormous difficulties, in everyday social life, school, work, leisure. It often means to be totally excluded.

The road to a true integration and acceptance of persons with disabilities is very long, and even in Europe the overall picture is extremely fragmented. Although the experiences of some countries, which are very close to us, show a renewed proactive attitude towards solution of the problem, we must strongly support this path to get a full and complete integration.

COMMUNICATION AIM
Goal: Make the public become aware to a general reflection on of the attitude of closure towards disability, stimulating a virtuous cycle of self-criticism against prejudice.

Make the target to get involved in first person, focusing on the effect of displacement that occurs when there is the healthy / able-bodied person in a position to experience the incapability to fully live their lives - even in the most basic and simple gestures - and to feel deprived of the basic right of every individual to fully live their emotions, their daily lives, their own existence.

PLACEMENT
The contest aims is to generate clusters of individuals who for practical purposes may constitute valid stakeholders to be entrusted for spreading the message; for this reason it involves all social categories.

TARGET
For the kind of expected results, the reference target should be identified primarily in the active segment of the population -adults 15/64 years- able to ensure the widespread dissemination and rapid way of the message.

CONSUMER BENEFIT
The type of values, as the achievement of the goal of the contest elevates the status of the individual and the community, promoting better social integration, offering greater capacity to interpret the needs of a heterogeneous community and therefore complex, generating faster and effective response to any crises.

MAIN PROMISE
It is important to suggest the target the possibility to trigger a historical change.

TONE OF VOICE
Favor a rational rather than emotional tone, avoiding leading the public to develop compassion and pity attitudes that show the sense of "distance" of a group over another. The goal of the contest is to return the same dignity to every individual and erase the prejudice on diversity.
