Heroes International Film Festival - Opening Ceremony
Max Giovagnoli, Artistic Director of Heroes Film Festival, in the official opening ceremony presents the formula of the festival, the partners and the media partners and tells about the contents that will be available for these 3 days of non-stop event.
"When we started working on the festival exactly one year ago, the most common word and meaning for the concept of" hero "were linked to a very different imagery from that of recent months. They were thinking of the darlings of H-Movies, of horror villains, of elven princesses or astronauts, hard boiled detectives or samurai ... The heroes of today are instead people who meet every day, wear masks by law and not to hide or even less. to inspire dreams or nightmares in their neighbor. They drive trucks rather than spaceships and wear smocks instead of gaudy cloaks. For this same reason, however, the daily confrontation with the emergency and the claustrophobic immersion in the pandemic have also sharpened in us the desire to escape, to live other stories and an even stronger desire to take back our space in the construction of the imaginary. collective. "Heroes" are today more than ever not only those who continue to produce, manage and transfer food or care necessary to our bodies but also those who day after day are working hard to feed our imagination and our minds ".
