In the last twelve years, after moving from Agrigento to the primary Sicilian city of Palermo, “Efebo d’Oro” has established itself as an International Film Festival with two competitive sections: one dedicated to first or second features (with no other contraints), the other – following the tradition – for features based on literary works.
Tributing as well each year a Lifetime Achievement Award, and an Award for New Languages, the Festival has always placed emphasis on the connections between different artistic languages, and loves to involve film directors, writers, actors, and other key figures and professionals in the film industry, to deepen and discuss their vision(s) of cinema with the passionate festival’s public and the Sicilian film students.
