Problems related to the use of fossil fuels and possible alternatives. Denounces against all types of exploitation and the stories of hope for a fairer world. LIFE AFTER OIL, the only film festival in Sardinia that specifically deals with issues relating to the environment and human rights at an international level, is back. Now in its 7th edition, the event conceived and directed by Massimiliano Mazzotta has increasingly become an important opportunity of dialogue for filmmakers, activists, and associations of various nationalities that want to discuss energy issues and the search for a more sustainable lifestyle that is right for everyone.
By complying with all the safety measures necessary for the health emergency due to Coronavirus, the 2020 festival will take place in Ottana, from September 3rd to 5th, and in Santa Teresa Gallura, from September 8th to 13th. Sardinia, Italy
A total of 1212 works have been submitted, almost twice as many as last year, a demonstration of the growth of the Festival. Growth certified also by its increasingly international character. In fact, 95 different countries are represented between all the films submitted. The Festival commission admitted to the competition 97 films between feature films and shorts movies of various genres (documentaries, fiction, animated works). Of these, 33 are first works, confirming how much Life After Oil continues to take into consideration and promote young directors and not just the best known and most successful authors.
