The Giffoni Film Festival is an annual Italian children's film festival held in Giffoni Valle Piana, Campania. Founded in 1971 by Claudio Gubitosi, it is recognized for its unique format where children and teenagers serve as jurors, watching films, discussing them with filmmakers and actors, and choosing the winners. The festival typically takes place in July and attracts a large international audience, often exceeding 100,000 guests. Over the years, it has expanded its reach with international events and alliances, including the Giffoni Hollywood Film Festival.
