The captivating graphic design and the extreme facility of use guarantee a user-friendly navigation, in a Mediterranean style.

New technologies for integration of image and video, in line with the current development of web-documentaries, allowed to give more space for videos and to develop a new communication strategy based on visual communication.

The home page of the website presents news and events about PriMed with a slideshow. The navigation bar offers direct access to static content (History, Partners, Date and place of projected films in competition, Jurys, Contact).

A Press Room has also been set up to offer easily information about press releases with a video gallery of all reports made by TV broadcaster during the previous editions.
