Lancillotto porta il Cinema tra i Banchi di Scuola 🎬

Welcome to LANCILLOTTO AL CINEMA, a space for filmmakers
to show and debate their works with Students and Experts
in an unique and different way

LAC 2026 works in this way:
a. Film of Season is chosen at the end of each Deadline
b. The PFTV Award winner get a pass to LAC Film Festival
c. After the last Deadline additional films are selected too
d. Students and Expert Jury vote the LAC 2026 winners

After April 18, It's possible to compete only in the Premio Ascalesi (sceneggiatura scritta) and in the Expert Jury and Tech. Awards (we will upload a new version of the white photo avaible in the Album section)

    I am glad that my film got this chance and got to win best actress as well. I just want to thank the festival and wish it would grow bigger year after year to help many filmmakers and wish to join again with a new film.

    Festival piccolo ma accogliente che fa dell'insegnamento nelle scuole il suo focus senza tuttavia tralasciare il lato artistico. Dato che è al primo anno ha ancora molti margini di miglioramento. Simpatici i presentatori e accogliente la Sala in cui si è svolta la serata: davvero un bel Teatro con 200 posti
