Scuole senza frontiere
For a dozen years, the Locarno Film Festival has been promoting a review

international film and audiovisual schools. The CISA,
academic partner of the Locarno Film Festival, has always coordinated
the event by inviting Swiss and international film schools to present a
selection of their best short films, for a fruitful exchange between
universities and vocational schools from different regions, also working
in synergy with the BaseCamp.
