The idea of a film festival in the magnificent location of the Irpiniashire, was conceived by a determined and resourceful group of friends. They are strongly convinced that film art , together with other arts, is essential to mankind cultural development, to consider himself not only as a single person but as a proactive human being for the progress and emancipation of his community.
Cinema, as figurative art, is not only a film sequence of events, stories and circumstances of human life, but it is also and especially the film camera that advances in the instincts and in the human hearth feelings, trying to reflect the inner desire and abstract tensions, as a sculptor which brings out an artwork from a raw stone.
Ariano International Film Festival has the ambition to be a melting pot of hopes, dreams, distress and adventures of human behave, to realize and to be aware of the inner true that is : "we are living here and now".
