UNICEF YOUNG ADULTS COMPETITION

UNICEF YOUNG ADULTS IS THE NEW LAGO FILM FEST COMPETITION DESIGNED FOR AN AUDIENCE OF YOUNG PEOPLE BETWEEN 15 AND 18.

In 2023, a new competition is added to the broader GIRINI project. Lago Film Fest’s Young Adults competition stems from the need to make the project even more inclusive and thus create a palimpsest of activities and content that can be enjoyed by an often forgotten age group: young people aged 15 to 18 will finally have a section designed and conceived entirely for them.
Animations, dramas and documentaries: 10 short films from as many different countries that tell the complexity of this important stage of transition to adulthood.
