Portello River Festival

Portello River Festival, takes place in a specific area of the city, one which is at risk of becoming derelict, abandoned, and seeks to re-discover the area and valorise its potential as a meeting place for all, and a place for cultural events. The 2007 Festival is the third edition.
Thanks to the increasing contributions from International organisations, associations and individual artistes, artists and cultural workers, this year’s edition will be even more varied. Furthermore, for the first time a Concorso Internationale, International competition for Shorts has been organised.
This programme seeks to contribute towards recognising identity and cohesion within a community, the generations, a group, a city and tries to go beyond geographical borders so as to break down cultural and political barriers.
Making a contribution to knowledge and understanding of diversity, working towards a policy of inclusion for all.
