The Fourth Edition of the Short Film Festival FilmdiPeso will happen on the

18th & 19th September 2020 in Latina, Italy

This Festival is organized by the Department of Medico-Surgical Sciences and Biotechnologies of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Medicine and the Bariatric Center of Excellence – Sapienza University of Rome – Polo Pontino, in partnership with the City of Latina and the non-profit organization Amici Obesi, Villa Miralago Eating Behavior Health Center and SAFE – Safe Food Advocacy Europe.

The mission of the Festival is to disclose the social, psychological and interpersonal impact of obesity and eating disorders on teenagers and adults.

The formal acknowledgment and recognition of obesity and eating disorders as diseases allows not only to approach new treatment opportunities but also to dismantle prejudices and misconceptions. The Short Film Festival aims to provide a fresh broader look at food and nutrition, at correct information and at improving quality of life.

The Festival aims to present stories and documentaries addressing the complexity of the issues stated in our mission.
