“The Aqua Film Festival – in the words of the artistic director, aims to enhance the element of water as a source of life , energy, health, memory, to love, respect and fear through images in movement captured by man as a social message of freedom of sport, of art, awakening the awareness of those who have in abundance and helping those who are lacking. Particular attention will be given to the work of the navy whose daily control and defence saves thousands of human lives every year and protects this huge heritage.

Thanks to the patronage of CONI (Italian Olympic Games Committee), we will underline the importance of water sports for our health and knowledge of nature, as well as hosting the great champions who have made us proud all over the world.
