First cinema and audiovision’s festival dedicated to social issues and civil commitment

In a historical moment in which the fear of different seems to prevail and the values of equality and social justice are neglected for the benefit of a widespread selfshness, it seems important to us to experiment new initiative to promote the positive values that the Associazione Orchestra Multietnica di Arezzo tried to convey in these years using the universal language of the music. Solidarity, hospitality, integration, civil commitment,those are the values we want to pass on through cinema and audiovision’s language, in an active citizenship experience above all young people, to give our contribution to a wide cultural sensibility growth, with a view to a supportive, multicultural and cohesive society.
Officine social movie: First cinema and audiovision’s festival dedicated to social issues and civil commitment and to dissemination of content that promoted solidarity, hospitality, social inclusion, cultural diversity and rights values.
Officine social movie is born for an attempt to create new artistic context and new formulas to convey, through cinema and audiovision’s versatily, the idea of cultural and social commitment above expressed. A project that foresees the realization of “number one edition” of a cinema and audiovison’s festival that, in our intentions, it will have to become an annual appointment to keep in the month of June, using the two rooms and the Arena of Arezzo’s Cinema Eden, in collaboration with Officine della Cultura. An open festival to short films presented by young emergent and independent filmmakers and videomakers, in the competition for which we present the call, and a showcase dedicated to projection of titles (movie, docu-movie, animation…) on call through film distribution channels also alternative. Projections that will be enriched by guest’s presence (filmmakers, authors, screenwriters, actors) with whose the audience will have the opportunity to confront at the end of projection.
