TSFF ACADEMY: THE FESTIVAL FOR FILM STUDENTS FROM CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE
Alpe Adria Cinema has been interested in the education of young people since its inception. One of its main goals has always been to introduce new generations to the world of cinema. Over the years, thanks to this custom and also thanks to a programming of events that consistently tries to be more transversal and of interest to different audiences, the number of students has grown steadily.
The TSFF ACADEMY was established in 2020.

The TSFF Academy was created to give film students, from Central and Eastern Europe, the opportunity to have an educational experience in an international context such as the Trieste Film Festival. Students are selected from the most prestigious universities and film academies of the different countries involved, including Italy, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovakia, Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
