Body positivity, rebirth, freedom to love without labels, disability, friendship, magic, dreams, family relationships and delicate topics such as bulimia, anorexia and multiple sclerosis: these are just some of the subjects addressed by the first titles selected for #Giffoni2022, scheduled from July 21 to 30.

The call for submissions for the official section of the 52nd edition of the Giffoni Film Festival, scheduled from July 21 to 30, 2022, is now open for feature films, short films (both fiction and animated films) and documentaries.

Love for cinema comes from a very young age. In the darkness of a screening room it is easy to be enchanted by stories, sometimes far from our everyday life and able to offer us a new point of view on the world, others so intimate and exciting that we discover something more about ourselves.

The freedom to grow up and follow one's own path, the value of friendship, the courage to face small and large fears, respect for diversity and also the great contemporary issues, dreams and intergenerational conflicts: these are some of the main themes of the productions in competition at the Winter Edition from Italy and all over Europe, as well as from the United States, Iran, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Russia, Turkey and Israel.
