So we discussed many ideas and we are still collecting suggestions about how to follow-up. Stay tuned and in a few weeks, clicking on "next" on this webpage, you will discover which are the future steps of our network.

The X edition of Sottodiciotto Filmfestival will take place from 26 November to 5 December 2009.

The aim was both to promote creativity among youngsters through presentation of works by under-18s, and to host a selection of works showing the world of the same age group, therefore becoming a reference for those who love the youth cinema of the past, present and especially the future.
