“AUGUST” has been officially selected for the Y GEN competitive section at the 38th edition of the Giffoni Film Festival, which will take place from the 18th to the 26th July 2008 near Salerno, Italy. The film will compete for the SILVER GRYPHON AWARD, and the festival Jury, composed of 350 teenagers from 15 to 17 years of age, extends its congratulations to the cast and crew!

“Of all the festivals, the Giffoni Film Festival is the most necessary one.” This is the final sentence of a letter signed by François Truffaut which has become an important heritage with reference to his visit to the GFF in 1982.
