(by Elisabetta Stefanelli) (ANSA) - ROME, DEC 30 - As if nothing had happened Claudio Gubitosi has brought home a miracle, the Giffoni 2020 festival, indeed four festivals in one, without ever doubting.
'' More than courageous I would say that I was determined - he explains to ANSA - if you see the risk components in the frames you organize them, the courage goes away and the determination remains.
In these hours everyone wants to send 2020 away as soon as possible, while I think it must remain in us for all that it has left us ''.
'' From September to November I started making an economic and financial plan for Giffoni until 2027, we need to plan things, write them down, because we are a great cultural company ''.
In the awareness that '' the key word of 2021 for me is one, 'fragility', all those who felt impregnable are now no longer so and this was a blessing, because everyone understood that everything they believed unshakable has become dust ' '.
So Giffoni starts from the roots, '' from culture, from below, to have visual and visionary skills.
I am the dean of festival directors and I feel close to others: we can create a network and a system.
There are 1,300 film festivals in Italy, everywhere, beautiful.
I invited 450 directors to a meeting and they all responded enthusiastically.
The comparison will be divided into two moments in the second half of January we will know each other via zoom and then I invited them in April to Giffon for two or three days ''.
In 2021 for the 50th anniversary '' plus '', '' Giffoni will be present in 25 Italian cities as soon as possible: we will start from San Donàdi Piave where our liveliest hub is located, then we will go to Sardinia, Calabria, Sicily, Palermo.
As soon as possible, we are ready.
These will be the stages of approach to the great July event from 21 to 31 July, which we will arrive at with a passage built on humanism and philosophical processes.
We will present it in Cuma, in Pompeii, at the archaeological museum of Pontecagnano, with 5 days of fantastic activities in the temples of Paestum ''.
