Equilibrium Studio Cinematografico organizes the second edition of its "CineFest - Changes".

Equilibrium Studio Cinematografico is a Social Promotion Association based in Palermo, born with the intent to promote the development and diffusion of film culture, a passion shared by the members of our team. This year the festival focuses on the theme of change, today more and more sudden and the reason for a highly liquid society. Nothing is well defined anymore: space, time, body. Everything is always changing and flows quickly.

The association Equilibrium Studio Cinematografico is composed of three women who are experts in cinema and communication, as well as lovers of creative and artistic expression represented through images and videos. The Equilibrium CineFest is, in fact, a means to offer a space of expression to all filmmakers who want to share their thoughts through the short film, a tool that has the power to communicate in a few minutes a message with a high emotional impact.
