Thanks you all for sending numerous materials.

Festival of shorts, documentaries and independent films.

The festival "At the borders of the world…inside the West " is a thematic festival proposing a selection of works from Italian and international independent cinema festivals and unpublished works.
As the title suggests, the festival priviledges materials whose contributions investigate or offer an insight into the intersections of the model of western development and its contradictions as well as the strategies of resistance made by various subjects.
As in the two past festivals selection will favour those works traditionally excluded by the great commercial media circuits, as well as those which recount stories of differents borders and conflicts that cut across contemporary society: gender, ethnic groups, economic and social affiliation.

The decision to propose the same theme as of preceding festivals is for us a confirmation that to investigate such realities is to give space to a large area that does not always finds places to express itself.

"At the borders of the world…inside the West" is a theme that connects very different works: documentaries, short films, fiction and even new productions realized as a result of the recent diffusion of audio-visual technology.
"At the borders of the world…inside the West" proposes a multiplication of views on the contradictions of our world to give back a variety of histories, interpretations, questions and laughters, that make the festival event not only a moment to enjoy but also a useful tool of reflection and knowledge on realities that which is usually unknown.

The success of the preceding editions and the encouragement we received from the press and people working in the same field have been the primary reason that has encouraged us to repeat and further enrich this event.
It seemed evident that we had, in our own little way, discovered a desire for cultural events that were more interested in the quality of the content and not of the simple commercial results.

For the third edition, besides confirming the charateristiscs of the preceding years, such as the choice to organize meetings between directors and the public, and the commitment to maintain low ticket prices, we decided upon a few new important things.
Above all the festival moves to a bigger cinema.
We have also introduced a competitive section, two "prizes of the public" (by way of a definition ).

See you at cinema
