The first editions

The Screenplay Contest has grown tremendously, thanks to great collaborations with partners such as Rai Cinema and Laser Film. Consequently, more and more young screenwriters are able to express themselves through ambitiously creative short films.

In 2018, the competition expanded its profile with additional partners: Yourban2030, Officinema, Redigital, Luxor, and Wonderlab.

ART GENERATING AN IMAGE OF THE FUTURE

More than ever before, we are facing some very important challenges. Climate change, environmental degradation, pollution, overbuilding, and importantly, the risk of extinction of endangered animals; these are just some of the most critical subjects that artists from across the world have explored through their work, reflecting the state of our generation while inspiring audiences to consider a more sustainable future.

The Story of 2018
