11 short films dedicated to the development goals of the 2030 agenda

The Accademia Dimitri before ... the film at the Cinema

Short films made by Accademia Dimitri students dedicated to sustainability have been screened at the Lux Cinema in Massagno since Nov. 3. A short film will be launched before each film on the bill.

These theatrical scripts are the result of independent work by first- and second-year Bachelor's students, and showcase 11 of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Screened for the first time at the Swiss pavilion at Expo Dubai 2021, the short films transport the viewer with visual metaphors to a world where the Sustainable Development Goals are all being met, while maintaining their utopian version.

Scripted, filmed, edited and post-produced by a team of professionals led by Swiss director Stina Werenfels, the videos are part of a project of the Swiss School of Public Health (SSPH+).

The initiative with the Cinema Lux in Massagno stemmed from a collaboration with the Ticino Film Commission, a reality that is attentive to raising awareness and implementing sustainability issues in the artistic sphere.
