Fernando Barbieri With great pleasure, I would like to thank all those who, from the beginning, have worked together for the success of the seventh edition of the Kalat Nissa Film Festival. The competition was promoted with the logic of sound competition, which gave everyone the opportunity to make their work known inter- nationally. Each short film had a message to be offered to the public through the viewer of the filmma- ker who was different from time to time for this one. It is necessary to think that Cinema is the seventh art and is a very important cultural phenomenon that clearly embraces many other arts. The Kalat Nissa Film Festival, this year, is at its seventh edition, but the commitment of the Cinematografic and Cultural association Laboratorio dei sogni is oriented to the future, with the same fineness so far pursued, so that with the experience of all those who have joined the initiative can perfect and enhance this event. In life, thanks to heaven, there are not only the disappointments, the considerable operational and economic difficulties faced this year, but there is also passion, confidence in those who collaborate and the demonstrations of love and care of many others that will allow you to find the strength to move on. Special thanks to the Municipality of Caltanissetta for supporting the project of the 7th Kalat Nissa Film Festival with the aim of promoting the international scene of the beautiful Sicilian territory, which in the three days of the event becomes the center of the world and cradle of film culture. Fire fighters Brigade Provincial Commander - Eng. Gianfranco scarciotta With this seventh edition of the exhibition, we are offered the opportunity to promote the image of the Fire fighters Brigade of Caltanissetta and the National Body, the institution of which we are part, and to offer appropriate emphasis on the commitment to daily uninterrupted rescue operations throughout the country as well as in the context of complex emergencies such as the recent tragedy of the hotel in Rigopiano and, last year, the seismic events that have repeatedly battered central Italy, the recovery of the miserable remains of the shipwrecked bodies from the barge abandoned off Malta, the tragic railway accident in the province of Bari, events for which the President of the Republic wished to confer on the celebration of Santa Barbara, patron saint of the Corps, three golden medals at the Banner of the Body. All the events that have been called to compete in the work of relief also the Fire fighters Brigade of Caltanissetta that they knew about the attachment to the service, the love they feed for their profession and the professionalism and the skills de- monstrated in the field, to build day after day, even in this city, the image of a vested institution, by its very nature and for the mission of which it feels invested, to solidarity and generosity, enhancing and consolidating its prestige and credibility. For this reason, even more than the praise, praise and attestation, which fills us with pride, we feel strong the affection and closeness of the citizens and, to offer the sense of the commitment of the Firefighters Brigade of Caltanissetta to the service of the com- munity and the territory of the province, only one data, that of 2016, over 6,000 interventions carried out by the service offices of Caltanissetta, Gela, Mussomeli and Mazzarino and our Firefighters Volunteers of Niscemi. But a desirable nod will certainly also deserve the fire prevention activities carried out by our technicians and the one dedicated to the training of employees in the service of prevention and protection in the workplace, the spread of the culture of security in schools, the vigilance activities and repression in accordance with the specific directives of the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the police activity at the service of the Judicial Authority. Our efforts, however, also see us engaged in other fields, as in the never-ending growth of professional qualification and specialist skills, convinced that we are the evolution and the complexity of risk scenarios that also affect our territory, oblige us to keep pace with the times and to maintain levels of efficiency and readiness of action absolutely unavoidable, even in the face of the increased terrorist threat, in keeping with the Civil Defense tasks attributed to the National Corps. All this is the Firefighters Brigade. To Association “Laboratorio dei sogni”, which this year also organizes this International Festival, my personal thanks together with the Firefighters of Caltanissetta for calling us as partners of the event and for the opportunity to participate with our short at final Gala evening. 4 WELCOME IN CaLtaNIssEtta Mayor Dott. Giovanni ruvolo One of the resources of our city is the liveability. If we work together we can make a city where to live well. Cleanliness, urban decor, economic development, exit from isolation, comparison and many ... many cultural proposals and uncontrollable creativity. I believe that trusting in the initiatives of the ci- tizens of the city of Caltanissetta, which I represent as First citizen, is the way of restoring civic sense. Never miss a good deal of optimism and positivity and the Kalat Nissa Film Festival is a great example. Again, this year the Caltanissetta Municipality sponsored this important reality of Caltanissetta, which projects our city to Europe and other foreign countries. I urge all the organizers an affectionate wish to continue with the current enthusiasm and to involve our city more and more in the future. Location Caltanissetta Caltanissetta (or Nissa) is an Italian municipality of about 60,000 inhabitants, the capital of the homony- mous province of Sicily. Ninth city of Sicily, and second in the province, in terms of resident population, is the seventh largest city in the province of the highest province of Italy, preceded in the Region only by Enna, and the fourteenth of Italy by surface the third in isolation, after Noto and Monreale. Its inha- bitants are known as Nisseni. Of uncertain origins, probably Scythians, it has the name of the Arabs who conquered Sicily in the 9th century. Transformed into a feud from the Normans, after various vicissitudes passed in 1405 under the rule of the Moncada of Paternò, who were the owners of the county until 1812. Throughout the nineteenth century, Caltanissetta experienced remarkable industrial development that did not last until the second half of the twentieth century: the presence of large sulfur deposits made it an important extractive center, so that it was known in the past with the name of the world capital of sulfur. Its importance in the solitary sector is evidenced by the foundation in 1862 of the first mining institute in Italy, near which a mineralogical museum was founded.
