The AquaFilmFestival sets out to valorize the element of Water as a source of life, energy, well-being and health, and to promote the respect, knowledge and love of Water by means of the image in movement.
It intends to seek out and encourage the production of films that are able to expound and represent Water in all its manifold aspects, from the social, to the cultural, ecological, naturalistic, as well as from the engineering, energetic, functional and economic viewpoints, without leaving out the historical, futuristic, sport, artistic and aesthetic aspects etc.
By focusing the attention of both the authors/film-makers and the spectators on this unique and vital element, AquaFilmFestival sets out to be an event aimed at making people aware and drawing their attention to the fact that Water is an extremely rich element of inherent beauty, a wonderful source of life and a common resource, but that it is limited and must be safeguarded, defended and re-distributed equitably and fairly.
In order to achieve this, AcquaFilmFestival will select works by young film-makers, from all over the world. It will also promote these themes among young authors/film-makers by inviting students from film schools as well as other schools, to experiment with and tackle this huge source of inspiration by employing the “light” new technologies that even young film-makers who are just starting out have easy access to.
