Working Title Film Festival 7 is ready to go and we can’t wait to unveil the programme. But we also need the help of those who believe in this proudly independent project. That is why we are launching a crowdfunding campaign in which you can participate by donating with Paypal or credit card.

Discover the video campaign
A series of short films was made to launch the crowdfunding campaign. The short films were made by the students of classes 5DLA and 5ELA, school year 2023/2024, of the audiovisual and multimedia address of the Liceo Artistico Boscardin in Vicenza. The activity took place as part of a PCTO project with the tutorship of teacher Marina Resta and the collaboration of teacher Alessia Zampieri, and graphics by Andrea Xausa.
