THE ARTWORK FILM FESTIVAL

Since 1983 the Cinema Azzurro Scipioni has been dedicated to the diffusion of auteur cinema, of the masterpieces of the history of cinema, and of quality and independent cinema.

The FestiBaldo was born with great enthusiasm and also a lot of effort, in the Sant Roc neighborhood (Badalona), in 2022. It is a festival organized by the 4th year ESO students of the Institut Escola Baldomer Solà.

Given that we, the 4th year ESO students, are at the end of the road at this educational stage, we are faced with concerns, fears and many doubts about the future, so we would like to see the representation of adolescents who are in the same situation as us.
