* Fighting Ignorance i s the main theme that the FORFILMFEST Project Commit tee haschosen for the 2013.

For trainers and educators, fighting ignorance today has nothing to do with illiteracy but with theloss of sense of our daily actions, with the increase of fundamentalism and identitarian obsessions,the detachment of political committment, and so on.
