FILMS IN COMPETITION
Cinema. So much Cinema.
The result of a year of research is LAGO20 a unified, wide and amazing competition with incredible films from all over the world.
And the Triveneto Competition, dedicated to the talents of the Veneto, Trentino e Friuli regions.
Lastly, Princípî Award: 6 under 25-years-old directors that will change the world.
Unicef competitions
The audience of the future.
We have been thinking about families, children, and teens by creating an increasingly diverse offering, ranging from the screening of Unicef Kids, Unicef Teens and Unicef Young Adults competition films to a schedule of workshops and activities for the very youngest.
For a memorable festival that can be enjoyed by everyone.

SPECIAL SECTIONS
Film to Discover and Special Screenings.
Matias Piñero returns to Lago. Cinema for those in their twenties according to Lav Diaz, Tommaso Santambrogio, and Nele Wohlatz. A tribute to the immense Ben Russell, the video dance of Moving Bodies, the ecotransfeminism of Queer Wetlands. And then special screenings, from erotic cinema to soundscapes by the lake.
SPECIAL GUESTS
Names That Matter,
According to Us.
Every competition has its jury. Personalities we bring to Lago but also the Unicef juries (for kids and teens), the popular jury, and the Local Experts jury.
EXPANDED FESTIVAL
Dancing, Singing,
Watching, Listening.
We never stop. A program of concerts before and after sunset, unexpected performances and installations in the village of Lago and within the new Satellite Pavilion. And don’t miss the food area (where you can eat and drink) in our new “Contemporary Capannone.”
ACTIVITIES FOR YOU
Breakfasts, Meetings,
Workshops, and Masterclasses.
Every day, two events designed for the audience: one in the morning (at breakfast) and one before sunset (during the aperitif) to meet the festival’s guests. A program of creative workshops divided by age groups (but we’ve included everyone from 0 to 99 years old), masterclasses, and thematic round tables. Yes, you will definitely find something that intrigues you.
BAREFOOT INDUSTRY DAYS
Cinema Professionals
Barefoot, by the lake.
We have reinvented the idea of Industry Days: everyone together barefoot for two days by the lake. A program of meetings, masterclasses, group activities, and of course, sunset aperitifs. Two days of networking, professional interaction, and inspiration. Our “industry” days are the opposite of everything you find at other festivals. They are inclusive rather than exclusive, and access is granted with an industry accreditation.
