During the last ten years, Future Film Festival has become the most significant Italian event dedicated to animation and special effects. Every year, the most important film-directors, art-directors and creative-producers come to Bologna to show their own films’ premiéres, backstages of their successes and exclusive pictures from new productions. A preview of the future, but not only: Future Film Festival dedicates retrospectives to the history of animated cinema and sci-fi, as well as meetings and events about new technologies applications to other fields, like web and videogames. The 2008 edition had more than 32,000 attendees during the six-day-long festival: 130 meetings and screenings, premiéres of 17 feature films out of competition and 10 in competion for the Lancia Platinum Grand Prize, 37 animation series and 157 shorts in competition for the Future Film Short – Premio del Pubblico Groupama. More than 250 national and international journalists attended the event.
