THE VALSESIA CANOE FILM FESTIVAL sets out to show films and documentaries of canoe-kayak trips to little known places on the planet: journeys of exploration and adventure.
The VALSESIA CANOE FILM FESTIVAL aims to open a window of awareness of the world of rivers by showing high quality films and documentaries which open people's eyes to the beauty and uniqueness of canoeing on rivers.
THE FILMS
Films from any country made in 2007-2008-2009-2010 may be shown, whether they have never been shown to the public before (which is better) or have already been shown at other organized events.
The quality of images, content and directorship should be of a high standard, and films should be an original record of journeys or adventures by canoe along rivers and mountain streams around the world. They should not contain personal promotion or self-advertising.
THE TARGET AUDIENCE
The VALSESIA CANOE FILM FESTIVAL is aimed at anyone who loves documentaries about nature and adventurous journeys, at canoeists and young people who want to embark on the discipline of canoeing on the river. Entrance is free.
