Adriano Devita. Born and lived in Venice, Italy. Psychologist, consultant, and film-maker. I have been working for many years in the VET international system (vocational education and training). I’m a specialist in life long learning processes, web learning, guidance and counseling, recognition, validation, and certification of competences, active policies towards employment. I think cinema is an essentially visual knowledge medium. This specific characteristic must be exploited to the maximum degree. I don’t like explanations, or voice over It’s not about writing or saying something, it’s about showing it. I founded this festival to encourage talented young authors to develop this approach.
