XVII Festival Internazionale della Cinematografia Sociale “Tulipani di Seta Nera”
The International Festival of Social Cinematography “Tulipani di Seta Nera” is an event organized by the social promotion association “L’Università Cerca Lavoro” since 2007 based on an idea by Paola Tassone. The exhibition aims to promote audiovisual works that best represent the story of social issues and sustainability. Each cinematic work is chosen to represent the diversity and fragility of people and places, to integrate their needs and protect their development.
The presence of RAI, through Rai per il Sociale and Rai Cinema, gives the Festival the opportunity to speak to everyone through the largest cultural company in Europe, with the aim of building the ethical, cohesive and altruistic society of the third millennium.
