The cast of "Un Bacio" and film director Alessandro Rak have been the first guests of the Masterclass section, made of 100 jurors chosen from Generator +18 and hosted at Antica Ramiera. Lead by actor Stefano Rondoni, the young jurors coming from all over Italy joined the debate with Ivan Cotroneo. Writer, film director and scriptwriter, he presented his clip from the backstage of "Un Bacio", inspired by the namesake novel published in 2010 and based on a true story happened in America: the murder of a 15-year-old high school student, killed for having courted a male mate. The novel, just like the film – set for release in February 2016 – features three main characters, all students in a high school of Friuli. Lorenzo (Rimau Grillo), Antonio (Leonardo Pazzagli) e Blu (Valentina Romani) have all been influenced by their schoolmates to be bully. The film is a realistic picture that emphasizes the violence of this phenomenon. Together with Cotroneo there were scriptwriter Monica Rametta and producer Francesca Cima too. Afterwords, film director Alessandro Rak told the Masterclass jurors about his new animated film "L'Arte della Felicità", explaining all the steps involved in his direction and revealing the secrets behind this type of film. He also announced that a new work, based on Roberto De Simone's "Gatta Cenerentola", will be released soon.
