"Becoming human is the most extraordinary challenge of all. It is to really look at ourselves. It is finding hidden paths, creating new bonds, breaking down invisible walls and discovering - with amazement - that we are much closer than we think": these are the words with which the 55th edition of the Giffoni Film Festival 2025, the event dedicated to the very young, was presented.
Scheduled from 17 to 26 July, this year's edition includes 5000 jurors from 30 countries around the world, hundreds of cities and small towns in Italy,
"And now, here is the great Giffoni! - said Giffoni's founder and creator, Claudio Gubitosi - I wholeheartedly thank our President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, for the High Patronage he granted to this edition. A recognition that moves me to tears, makes me proud and charges us all with great responsibility".
The responsibility is above all towards the generations that are forming today, and the festival's policy has always been to educate the eye to cinema and audiovisuals through a rich programme, divided between titles in competition, numerous premieres and many guests with whom the Salerno audience will be able to engage with throughout the days of the festival.
The Previews
Unicorns", the new film by Michela Andreozzi, will be the opening premiere of #Giffoni55: the film starring Edoardo Pesce and Valentina Lodovini will be screened on the first day of the festival, Thursday 17 July.
