The Cisterna Film Festival is one of the winners of the 2017 regional call for the promotion of cinema and audiovisual art in the Regione Lazio. The aim of the regional body is the “reconstruction of a cinema audience” as Lidia Rivera, Councilor for Culture, explained during a meeting in Rome, on April 6th. “At a time in which so many cinemas and theaters are closing”, emphasized Mrs Ravera, “the support of institutions in order to reverse this bad trend is essential, and it will be possible only by raising the viewers’ awareness and supporting film theatres and similar entertainment places.”
For the second consecutive year, MOBilitazione Artistiche has succeeded in winning the Regione Lazio Contest with the Cisterna Film Festival Project. In the contest, were been rewarded only important projects promoting audiovisual culture with the use of new technologies and the diversity of cultural expressions and new expressive languages, organizing training workshops and conferences.
The Cisterna Film Festival is part of this big plan thanks to the “Other Visions” section, featuring pictures and videos with an experimental and artistic value, to the “Focus On” section about film production of a specific country, to the section dedicated to adolescents and teenagers, “Next Generation” and to a training workshop held by a professional in the industry.
