Viale L. Bodio 37, Milan
The event will explore the role of cinema and music as tools for social transformation through the experience of two innovative cultural initiatives: Duemila30, an international short film festival dedicated to themes of social justice, sustainability, and inclusion, and Novara Jazz, a festival that celebrates the fusion of musical genres and promotes new artistic languages. From ideation to production, the two guests will share their experiences in creating and managing a festival, discussing the challenges, peculiarities, and anecdotes related to these cultural events.
Duemila30 is not just a short film festival but a creative lab where young filmmakers, activists, and changemakers come together to address urgent issues such as social justice, sustainability, and inclusion. Created in 2018 at the request of the United Nations (UNRIC), the festival explores the power of cinematic storytelling as a tool for social responsibility and active participation.
