The Films

With over 40 selected films and 25 countries represented, the sixteenth edition of the festival presents a selection of works by both renowned and highly acclaimed filmmakers and also new emerging talents, a cinematic space that is increasingly gender-balanced, with ever-more women in the director’s chair as well as in production and in all other roles.
