In collaboration with Officine-IED created a short film on violence. Support for the SOS LEI Anti-Violence Center of the A. Gemelli IRCCS University Hospital in Rome has been confirmed
On the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, WINDTRE renews its commitment to combating violence with the launch of the short film ‘DI NOTTE’, made within the OffiCine-IED Cinema Training Laboratory. This is a concrete contribution to keeping attention on the issue of gender violence.
This latest initiative is part of a process already started last year, which led to the opening of the SOS LEI Anti-Violence Center of the A. Gemelli IRCCS University Hospital in Rome, born thanks to the partnership between WINDTRE, the Gemelli IRCCS Polyclinic Foundation and the ASSOLEI Association.
“The fight against violence is a responsibility that concerns us closely and requires a profound cultural change. WINDTRE has undertaken the commitment to spread knowledge and awareness through concrete awareness-raising activities such as the creation of the short film “DI NOTTE” and the work we will do in high schools starting from 2024. We believe, in fact, that it is essential to educate and dialogue with the new generations to build an increasingly inclusive, humane and non-violent future”, he declares Rossella Gangi Human Resources Director of WINDTRE.

Il short film “AT NIGHT”, created in partnership with OffiCine-IED and the artistic direction of Silvio Soldini, talks about street harassment and raises food for thought, representing and underlining the fear of those who suffer violence themselves and of those around them. The authors are Roberta Martinelli and Marcello Pedretti. From tomorrow, November 25th, the short will be available to the public and disseminated through a communication and social media campaign.
