Gran Paradiso Film Festival statistics
Attendance figures for the Gran Paradiso Film Festival - which officially ended with the award ceremony of the 30th of August in Cogne - are over 11.000.
The audience enthusiastically attended the screenings of the official selection and the De Rerum Natura events, available in audio format on www.gpff.it/en, in the 'audio' section.
An animated debate has arisen around the selected films, not only among the spectators but also on the Festival social media channels.
The jury of the audience, which awarded the winner, expressed its preferences differently across the screening venues: the detailed voting graphics are avaible on http://www.gpff.it/en/news/2014/votes.
The free public transport services during the Festival (Trekbus ITER, Cogne shuttle and SVAP Cogne-Aosta bus shuttle) were also welcomed by the audience, a fair amount of which made use of it, thus reaching the Festival premises without driving their own car.
“The Gran Paradiso Film Festival celebrated its 30th anniversary by offering a full-fledged, mature edition, from every point of view” declared Vittorio Anglesio, President of Fondation Grand Paradis. “6 screening venues, 19 guests, 30 events, 7 members of the Jury of the audience and 188 members of the Jury of the audience, 11.500 attendances: the figures are eloquent and prove what has been achieved so far. High-profile guests, international premieres, rendez-vous and debates tailored for the kind of audience and the surrounding area, a program featuring science, art, nature, shows and current events: all of this contributed to the Festival's completeness and yet well-adjusted balance. This cannot but be an achievement for Fondation Grand Paradis”.
