Uno sguardo raro

CINEMA: A RARE GLANCE (Uno Sguardo Raro),
THE RARE DISEASE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL launched it’s new website.

During Lockdown the Festival opens it’s free streaming platform to stay near to it’s public
with a selection of the best works of the past years, as well as the finalists of the 2020 edition
while waiting for the public event in Rome

In this very difficult moment, a Rare Glance inaugurates a free streaming platform to donate a new perspective, the one that people that live with a rare disease or disability, with positivity and resilience  can offer. These Intense works, that come from all over the world, bring to light the extra-ordinary lives rare patients live and can teach everyone how important it is to enjoy every little pleasure life gives. We are very happy, furthermore, to give a chance to see these works to those who cannot physically participate at the screenings.

The online voting of the finalists of the 2020 edition for the Popular Jury Prize – one of the different Awards of the Festival – is officially open to users who will register on the dedicated section of the site. We hope that the public will support this new initiative of A Rare Glance by registering on the PLAY section of the new website www.unosguardoraro.org, voting for their favorit short film and following the activities on our Social Media,Facebook and Instagram.

A Rare Glance has become a big, four branched tree: the focus of the project is the Festival, the only international film festival dedicated to the theme of rare diseases in Europe, an issue on which it is necessary to keep the attention high even during the Covid-19 emergency because the community is very fragile and must be protected. For this reason, like many other of Italian  public and private enterprises A Rare Glance has not stoped. The other branches are: the new LAB section for the training and production of original audiovisual products on the subject of rare diseases; the distribution channel TOUR to make the best works travel and be screened in Italy and Europe; and lastly PLAY, the first free streaming platform of the best videos, short films, documentaries and awareness raising videos on rare diseases, disability, resilience, and more, selected by the Juries of  Festival Uno Sguardo Raro.
