The third day of Visioni Fantastiche, the festival for school education, started at 8:30 AM. This year’s edition the festival is available, for free and open to everybody, both in a virtual format, on Mymovies.it and Zoom, and in real life, at the Palazzo del Cinema e dei Congressi in Ravenna.  The protagonists of the first event of the day were  the visionari 16+ and 18+, the visionaries.  Every movie screened for both sections faces interesting themes, tinted with generational issues, where the elements of fantastic and fantasy meet more realistic and conscious views. This event, part of the International Competition, was held at the Palazzo del Cinema e dei Congressi in Ravenna and was introduced and hosted by the programmer Carlo Tagliazucca.

The feature film presented in the 18+ section was Tito and The Birds  by Gabriel Bitar, André Catoto, and Gustavo Steinberg. The movie told the story of Tito, a shy boy who will have to face his fears to save the world from a terrible global pandemic, taking a dangerous trip to find the antidote. But the search will become much more than that, getting him to also discover himself and his roots…
