Everything is ready in Giffoni, in the province of Salerno, in an atmosphere of great joy and celebration: lights, flags, smiles in the places of the event that will welcome, over the next ten days, hundreds of thousands of people. Already jurors from abroad and Italy have arrived in Giffoni, most of them guests of local families. The universal language of beauty is already being spoken. It will be Vincenzo De Luca, President of the Campania Region, along with all the major authorities of the province and mayors of the area, who will kick off the 54th edition of the Giffoni Film Festival scheduled to begin today. The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella has granted this edition his High Patronage and even more, this year, the Campania Region is Giffoni's main partner. As always, the protagonists will be the more than 5,000 jurors from 33 countries around the world. The illusion of distance is the theme of this edition, declined in all its forms, in all its spaces, chosen to indicate the dangers of the sense of isolation that creeps into the lives of the new generations with the fear of the other, of the different, of the distant, with the deception of feeling separate.
