UNIFEST is the university video festival reserved for  students and PhD candidates enrolled at Italian and foreign universities.

For the fourth edition, inspired by the concept/guiding theme #RIGHTS/REVERSES², have been selected short films made with amateur or professional digital devices lasting no longer than eight 8 minutes. The works will compete in two categories: Stile Libero (Free Style) and Italian Job.

Born from an idea of the Audiovisual Storytelling Laboratory (LABSAV) of the Department of Political and Communication Sciences-POLICOM of the University of Salerno, under the patronage of the Italian Consulta Universitaria Cinema-CUC, under the scientific direction of Filippo Fimiani and Anna Chiara Sabatino, UNIFEST promotes emerging creativity in the university world.
