The short film “STAY” at Lighthouse Film Festival
“STAY” by Luca Canali is in the official selection of Lighthouse International Film Festival 2024, on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, USA.
The film has been selected for the Lineup of DARKHOUSE – the genre program of the Lighthouse International Film Festival.
LIFF 2024
The Lighthouse Film Festival on Long Beach Island, NJ is more than just a film festival, but a unique beach-centric experience like no other.
An event that was recognized twice by MovieMaker Magazine as one of “The 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World” (2018, 2020).
The 16th edition of the festival will take place on June 5-9, 2024. Beyond extraordinary screenings of new buzzing films from Sundance, SXSW, Toronto, Berlin, Cannes, Venice, LIFF offers engaging panels, networking events, and masterclasses.
The short film
“STAY” was born with the intention of addressing the most severe of mental symptoms, the second leading cause of death among young people, which paradoxically is spoken about very little: self-injury and suicide.
“Just graduated, Laura works as an usher in her mother’s theatre. The razor blade is her only companion. As she faces her dreaded control round; she discovers that she is not as alone as she thought.”
