Behaviors and motivations to attend such an event vary according to the attendees’ lifestyles and characteristics. In line with this aspect, the paper analyzes the motivations of different generations to attend the film festival with the purpose of emphasizing the impact of motivation on festival behavior. The results show a significant difference between baby boomers and Z generations, on one side, and X and Y generations on the other side. The first is characterized by a spontaneous behavior during the festival, while the second category plan in advance the activities and the movies they will attend during the festival. Keywords: generations, film festivals, attendance reasons Jel Classifications: L83 Introduction The last 10-15 years there is an increasing interest for analyzing the impact of generational nexus toward different aspects of the people life activity. Thus, in the literature can be identified the following major topics approached in this regards by many researchers: understanding the work values of the new generations, there is an notable number of studies done in the sense of analyzing differences of work attitudes, values, motivation and behavior from one generation to another; different buying behavior and satisfaction from one generation to another. If there are considerable studies in the literature in the last 10 years referring to the generational influences upon work attitude, work satisfaction, managerial style, buying behavior, there are very few which focused on identifying such differences on the subject of spending free time and relaxing activities. Thus, the research done in this article is trying to bring new information in this regards. Literature review Generational theory was for the first time popularized by Strauss and Howe who define generation as a cohort of individuals born within the similar span of time and over these phase of life they shared a common location in the history (Strauss & Howe, 1997) and were shaped by similar events, trends and developments (McCrindle & Wolfinger, 2009). Each generation was influenced, especially during childhood and adolescence, by a set of factors, like parenting behaviors and philosophies, educational system, church, media, political, economic and social events, popular culture’s trends and cultural values. This complex background creates for each generation a common value system which allows a distinguish from one to another generation because remains stable from the childhood till the young adulthood (Lubinski, Schmidt, & Benbow, 1996) (Meglino & Ravlin, 1998). This system or view of the world is like an anchor against which later experiences are interpreted (Scott, 2000) In the literature can be found unanimous opinion regarding labeling the following generations and most of the researchers suggested that group effects are linear rather than categorical (Twenge, 2010): Baby boomers (born from 1946 to 1964), Generation X (born from 1965 to 1980), Generation Y (born from 1981 to 1990), Generation Z ( born from 1991 to 2000), Generation Alpha (born after 2001) The main characteristics of each generational cohort, as different studies confirmed are presented in a synthetic way in table no.1. 1 Tabel no.1.
