About
The Association "Gli Anni in Tasca, Youth and Cinema" is a non-profit organization for social change, with its main office in Bologna.
The choice for the name is a tribute to French director François Truffaut, a sensitive and extraordinary backer of childhood and adolescence, and to his film L’argent de poche from 1976, shown in Italy under the title Gli Anni in Tasca: or Years in Your Pocket. A harmonic tale capable of communicating, without rhetoric, the joy of living, and the desires and feelings of its young characters.
In 1995 Olga Durano and Angela Mastronardo in response to requests from the scholastic world, created the festival Un film nello zaino (A film in your backpack) to help kids understand and love quality cinema. It was the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of cinema.
