Giffoni, Italy – July 2024 - "The illusion of distance" is the theme of the 54th edition of the Giffoni Film Festival, scheduled from 18 to 28 July 2024. Also confirmed are the 35 participants in the C.G.S. Training Camp (Cinecircoli Giovanili Socioculturali - National Association of Film Culture promoted by the CNOS and CIOFS Bodies), adult managers, animators and young people of the two C.G.S. Percorsi Creativi  juries who will be present at the international film festival in Giffoni Valle Piana (SA) starting on Saturday 20 July. Since the last edition, the presence of C.G.S. has made it possible to set up two Juries: one for the +13 section, which has had them present since 2007, and one for the +16 category, which testifies to the fact that CGS jurors grow and undergo a training course with repercussions on those who enter later, not only stopping at the emotional adhesion that the experience inevitably triggers. Finding themselves from all over Italy with groups from Ancona, Civitavecchia, Genoa, Padua, Taranto and Cagliari, young people and leaders will experience a "permanent workshop" in Giffoni  made of viewing and evaluation of the films in competition for the two C.G.S. Creative Pathways Awards, web journalism of documentation, seminars and team building courses. Starting from the Marche coordination of the CGS-Sentieri di Cinema project, the group of formators who will lead the experience this year has become the expression of several regional associations (Marche, Lazio, Veneto, Sardinia, Liguria, Puglia), in a network that sees the constant organisational and design presence of the C.G.S. national presidency.
