The film festival was organized by the Salesians of Don Bosco, who said on their website that they wanted to create “a world-class film festival platform to showcase … young creative filmmaking talents.”
The festival “strives to embrace, encourage and empower every young person to become the voice of hope and solidarity,” the website said.
Films will be awarded cash prizes in many different categories, including global bests, continental bests, and category bests such as narrative, screenplay, sound design, and editing.
There will also be individual awards for best actor and actress, best writer, and best director.
“Young people always surprise us with their creativity … I really think that today’s world should believe much more in the value of young people,” the Rector Major (worldwide head) of the Salesians said at a press conference last week.
