The target of our Festival is to act as an intermediary among cultures, among the different film languages, as well as to become a potential means of cinema promotion: an exchange, encouraging diversity and avoiding its closure, which leads to non-communicating cultural enclaves. Cinema can become a mirror reflecting what is around it: interpreting and dwelling upon its contradictions and accepting them as its own heritage.
It is a Festival with a subject: Dialogues. “Dialogues”: deep correspondences with the “Other” and the “Self”, attempts and examples of dialogues between the ego and the self, the ego and the transcendent, adult and young people, feminine and masculine and then ethnic dialogues and “extreme” dialogues.
The Festival is divided into several sections, including:
- European Feature Films Competition;
- Tributes and Retrospectives;
- Special Events and Proposals.
