The Ecologico International Film Festival (EIFF) promotes, through cinema, a reflection on contemporary society. It does it through film screenings that tell, explore and question stories about the world we live in, encounters with influential figures from the culture and debates with the public.
The term Ecologico, which characterizes the Festival, must be understood in its broadest meaning of man's relationship with natural, cultural, social, political and economic environments and the dynamic relationships between them. This includes everything from the bodies we live in, to the physical structures, institutions and industries that human beings build, to the politics, languages and cultural practices we use to communicate and, of course, the Earth-environment and its complex multitude. of life and processes.
We use cinema to stimulate discussion, promote public engagement and foster awareness on a wide range of social and environmental issues.
Our goal is to involve, enlighten and entertain audiences from all backgrounds, through films that investigate the complexity of reality through themes that celebrate, question and propose different ways of seeing the state of our world.
The Ecologico International Film Festival does not intend to suggest solutions, but limits itself to stimulating change through individual awareness. At the same time, we are convinced that cultural growth contributes to the creation of new opportunities for sustainable economic and social development for the population and the territory, respectful of human rights and the environment.
The question we ask ourselves is: Can we improve the world we live in?
The basic idea is that there can be no well-being if there is no "education in well being".
EIFF proposes new and evocative "visions of the world", promotes the change of lifestyles and promotes knowledge of possible alternatives to contemporary living.
