La Grotta dei Piccoli is the section of the festival dedicated to our youngest audience and that has become a reference point for animation lovers over the years. Our goal is to encourage our viewers’ curiosity and immerse them in a rich program varied in stories and techniques. For this 2023 edition, we have selected 100 short films created by both established and emerging talents from all over the world.

Following last year’s success, we will continue to have a ‘Giuria dei Piccoli’ once again: a jury of children and teenagers that will attend all screenings, vote for their favourite film and eventually select a winner. The purpose is to promote and strengthen the active participation of the young public by giving them an opportunity to reflect and discuss the films they have seen in order to come to a common decision.

The evening screenings will be divided into two parts in order to have a balanced programme for two specific age groups: the first part will be dedicated to younger children, while the second part will be aimed at teenagers and young adults.

In addition to the screenings, we will be carrying out a series of afternoon activities, including creative workshops around the theme of communication to allow young viewers to express their creativity and reflect on different ways of storytelling through visual art. We will also hold a Film Club afternoon, a space to discuss and exchange ideas so that the participants can express their opinions and reflect on the short films they have watched.

We believe it is very important to inspire the new generations and offer them cultural experiences that can feed their imagination and broaden their horizons. It is precisely for this reason that we strive to make each and every edition as engaging and exciting as possible for our public.
