Overview of the second edition of Detour Travel Film Festival
DETOUR 2013 - Detour. Travel Film Festival Padova, 15/20 October 2013
After the success of the first edition of DETOUR Travel Film Festival, here is a preview of the new
edition which will take place in Padova from 15 to 20 October 2013.
The International Competition, like last year, will present in one section feature films and
documentary films connected to the theme of the journey, film which have participated in festivals
both in Italy and abroad, but have not found official distribution on Italian screens yet.
The call is officially open and will close on the 8th of June 2013; all information are available on
our website: www.detourfilmfestival.com .
The Festival awards three prizes: Best Film Award, Special Jury Award and Audience Award.
This year Best Film Award will be sponsored by Trivellato Spa for the prize of 3.000 euros.
Many are the novelties in this second edition, starting with the Homage to Wes Anderson,
American director critically beloved for works such as The Royal Tanenbaum, The Life Acquatic
with Steve Zissou, and the recent Moonrise Kingdom. Anderson’s characters are often running from
a world where rules are too strict. Their romantic and existentialist sudden getaways often mark the
distance from oppressing families in a severe society that has lost all pleasures of imagination.
Viaggio in Italia is a new section and will host Italian films that have portrayed and still portray our
Country. An occasion to re-watch masterpieces by great cinematographers of the past while
discovering films by emerging directors. Roberto Rossellini’s Viaggio in Italia, restored by Cineteca
di Bologna and presented in Cannes last year, will inaugurate this new section.
With Detour we have conceived a festival where cinema and travel meet and melt together in new
unpredictable forms. The first edition has set the direction, the second will expand horizons,
especially towards emerging authors whose films fill all great International festivals yet hardly ever
reach our theatres and tvs.
It will be five intense days of films, meetings, workshops and other events to live a unique
experience. For those who follow us, the idea of travelling at the cinema, with cinema, couldn’t get
any closer to real.
