TEMA LIBERO!
Si accettano Cortometraggi fino a 25 minuti di lunghezza: ci piacerebbe che fossero in qualche modo ispirati dal Viaggio, o che raccontino il Viaggio. Ma il "viaggio" è ovunque! Viaggio interiore, viaggio fisico, mentale, viaggio nel passato, nel futuro, un viaggio nella memoria, o della speranza o un meraviglioso viaggio d'amore o alla scoperta.
Ogni declinazione possibile di VIAGGIO, nella libera interpretazione dei Filmakers.

*The FRANCIGENA has been certified "Cultural Route of the Council of Europe" in 1994-
The Via Francigena was a communication path which contributed to the cultural unity of Europe in the Middle Ages. Today, the Via Francigena is considered as a bridge between the cultures of the Anglo-Saxon Europe and the Latin Europe.
That is why the Programming Committee decided to name FRANCIGENA this new Film Festival.
Prize will be awarded for the best Short Film.
Special mentions will be assigned to: best director, best actress, best actor, best photography, best screenplay, best editing.
There will be an audience award and mentions assigned by our media partners too.
The festival counts on the help of media-partnerships and cultural partners in the area.
