The family as a real protagonist, on the screen and in front of the screen and for the whole time of the event: this is the motto of the Fiuggi Family Festival, a brand new kind of festival due to be held in the little Italian town of Fiuggi from July 28 to August 3. The main idea is to promote a family-friendly culture in the area of media and entertainment.
In a recent official presentation in Rome the organizers underlined the basic fact that in the last few years, movies targeting a family audience have generated a big box office (not only the now classic Pixar fantasy movies, but also big family dramas such as Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind, and Life is Beautiful) and showed an extraordinarily good return in the home video market too.
