Cinema is increasingly becoming a second skin for Trieste and its residents, who over the years have been seeing their city depicted on big and small screens at a growing rate. An area narrated through images, its own and those of others, referencing the vocation of a city of borders and sea, where the stories and voices of people flow like the wind.
ShorTS International Film Festival embodies this soul, set midway between narrated and narrator, in the succinct style of those who know how to say everything with just a few glances. A soul in which AcegasApsAmga recognises itself, a part of the territory with the double guise of daily providers and users of services.
This is why the multiutility stands once again alongside the short film festival, bringing renewed strength to the AcegasApsAmga award for the best Italian short. For the third year in a row, the winner was chosen by a jury made up of staff members of the Hera Group, of which AcegasApsAmga is part. This year, once again, many people wanted to participate, exceeding all records with over sixty entries, from many different areas, from Friuli Venezia Giulia to Veneto and Tuscany.
The teamwork and collaboration experience that are features at AcegasApsAmga have been part of the jury process since the first line-up in 2020, and this year a family feel was introduced thanks to participation by the children of some of the staff members enrolled. A generational exchange that has reminded us of how cinema is a time for sharing, but also a way of changing your world viewpoint.
