A project conceived as a dream four years ago now becomes the thrust for a new challenge: a national film competition for students attending Italian high-schools will run for the first time from 15 to 24 September 2006 in Milan. The project Milano Film Festival for schools started in 2002 with a series of meetings and screenings in different high schools in Milan and its surroundings. Later on, it also included a variety of activities and experiences, from internships to film workshop, and involved 5000 students from 80 schools. In the school year 2004/2005, Milano Film Festival produced 3 short films, in collaboration with Logo Video, Milanese group of filmmakers. Each one of these films results from the meeting and work of young students, that lasted for more than 5 months as an after-school activity. During the tenth edition of Milano Film Festival, the videos will be screened in a single section entitled Alba.
