Students of i2i are on train to the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy!
March 5, 2010 – 1:51 pmThis July, three of our students have been given the opportunity to be a part of the 2,000 young children that will participate in the 39th Annual Giffoni Film Festival, held every year in Naples, Italy. Thanks to former volunteer Ana Dillon, who has spent a significant time with us teaching cinema to the kids, the film festival has granted the students free flights, accomodation and meals to their 39th annual celebration.
The Festival was founded by Claudio Gubitosi who wanted to create a space for youth to experience the world of film. What started as an opportunity to highlight films geered toward children has turned into a festival with films viewed by the kids and judged by the kids. Our student will be participating in their respective levels deciding on the winners to the festival.
Two Brothers has begun brainstorming ideas for fundraising projects that will go toward raising the money needed to get the kids their passports and visas in time for the festival. So far, there have been talks of a t-shirt fundraiser and a “stop-light” themed party to help with the necessary funding so hold tight… more information to follow!
