Giffoni Film Festival is held since 1971 in the Italian city Giffoni Valle Piana. Its aim is to promote good cinema for young people. This year, the festival was held from July 15-24. Among the winners of this year's awards, there is the Polish animated filmmaker Natalia Krawczuk, who won the Amnesty International Award for short film for her school film study.
The animated film "Fences" tells a couple of stories, the common denominator of which are fences, both the real ones and those which do not exist.
