The Linea d’Ombra Festival Public Jury is open to anyone aged 14 and over with a passion for cinema and audiovisual media.
Joining the jury means experiencing the festival from a different perspective: watching the films in competition, discussing them with fellow jury members and helping to decide the winners of the 31st edition of the Linea d’Ombra Festival through your vote:
- Award plaque for Best Film in the Passaggi d’Europa section.
- Award plaque for Best Short Film in the CortoEuropa section.
Registration is free and allows you to take part in one or more juries, choosing from the available sections.
Participation in the Public Jury includes reserved seats for the screenings: put yourself forward and join the PuplicJury for the 31st edition.
