Great movies in which cinema becomes a tool for reflection and discussion, Comparison with history and with the present. A genre cinema that wants to communicate to its viewers the frightening and devastating experience like war.

Among the books presented At the gates of Damascus.

L 'Admiral Ferdinando Sanfelice di Monteforte, with his War and Sea. Conflicts, policy and maritime law (Ugo Mursia Editor) face up, instead, the history of international maritime law, telling the genesis of the rules and highlighting all the gray areas and gaps that the current evolution of the international geopolitical situation is highlighting. Today, as in the past, marine expanses are the border that will direct the peace and welfare of the people, because history teaches that whoever controls the sea controls the land.

Terrorism "DIY" in an analysis – accompanied by a rich photographic documentation – ranging from propaganda jihadist the attacks that homegrown terrorist e foreign fighter return put into practice in the West. These young people respond to the calls of Al Qaeda and Islamic State, competing for leadership of the galaxy jihadist, and "attacking us," acting rarely in complete independence. From the study of the attacks and the networking widespread material it includes such attacks are carried out and coordinated by groups jihadists and which simply inspired by their ideas.

The Festival aims to stimulate the public's interest, species that juvenile, providing food for thought and raise awareness. If it's true, indeed, that cinema has always told the tragedy of war, investigated the peace and denounced social tensions with strength and higher intensities than any other medium, it is equally true that through the words of those who saw the war, or the emotional impact a work of art can stir, the review can really give the viewer a unique experience of awareness and reflection.
