Piazzale Lugano 19, Milan
The event will explore the power of cinema and music as instruments of social change, through the experience of two innovative cultural initiatives: Duemila30, an international short film festival dedicated to social justice, sustainability, and inclusion; and NovaraJazz, a festival that celebrates the blending of musical genres and promotes new artistic languages.
From concept to production, the two speakers will share their experience in creating and managing a cultural festival, recounting the challenges, uniqueness, and stories behind these influential artistic ventures.
Duemila30 is not just a short film festival, but a creative laboratory where young filmmakers, activists, and changemakers come together to address urgent issues such as social justice, sustainability, and inclusion. Founded 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.
