This year will be looking for answers to the following and to raise a few more question.
What do our audiences really want Film Festivals to be?
What do filmmakers really want from Festivals these days?
Very few can be markets or premieres, even publicity machines. How can we deepen the utility of festivals for the creative community?
Festivals deliver intelligent and engaged audiences to the films. Can we deepen the relationship between the fans and the creators?
How do we utilize cinema’s power to activate?
Can we work together so that films gain better momentum festival to festival and unleash the power of the combined festival community in some way?
Are we utilizing the strength of the festivals as an information gathering and dissemination tool as fully as we might?
What information is not being gathered when we collect films and crowds and can we change that?
This is the data age. Are we embracing transparency as fully as we might?
As trusted curators of this colossal heap of cinema culture, how do we really make a difference on a long term basis?
Is a short burst of guidance enough?
Growth requires consistency and do we provide that?
We are the filter, the trusted source. Film festivals are discovery platform for films that might otherwise be ignored. How to carry that over to the online environment?
How do we transform young people into loyal cinema lovers?
We are losing the youth. Can we stem the tide?

Il festival cinematografico LA MIRADA TABÚ vuole motivare artisti e creatori a mostrare la loro visione del concetto di «tabù», che è ampio e diversificato, e comprende i sogni, l'inconscio, i mondi mentali e i fantasmi che li popolano, il mistero, la magia, persino la realtà non raccontata, il non detto, «i vestiti appesi», sul posto di lavoro, emotivo, familiare, vitale... da una visione così poliedrica così com'è il pensiero umano: disinvolto, umoristico, drammatico, onirico... sempre nel rispetto per tutti i modi di pensare e dalla creatività.
LA MIRADA TABÚ lancia un invito a portare alla luce il mondo personale e non trasferibile di ogni creatore, che, come abbiamo potuto verificare nel corso della storia dell'arte e del cinema, attraverso grandi nomi della cinematografia mondiale, si connette con l'immaginario più profondo, sconosciuto e sfuggente degli spettatori
