The Festival is organized by its Executive Board composed of experts and members of associations which have supported the event since its foundation in 2008, in first place the Cultural Association "Cinema e Diritti", which founded and coordinates the Festival and its promotion.
Our Festival brings the debate on Human Rights between young people and ordinary people, in the suburbs and in places where discomfort and marginalization are most felt; this is why our slogan expresses, in a joke, "the cinema with long legs", the desire to meet people who are too often excluded from the information and cultural circuits of the great media. These are the places where it is most urgent to contrast, with images, information and debate, the deviant tendencies of crime and the attraction it can exert on youth categories, offering horizons of new citizenship and opportunities, emotions and prospects wider than those proposed by public information. Prisons, social centers and hospitals, places where migrants reside, guests in reception centers or engaged in seasonal work will be an integral part of this process.
