We are delighted to share our news for the autumn of 2024.
The 2025 edition is underway. It will be held from 8 to 21 April 2025 under the theme TELL ME LIES (a reference to Peter Brook’s masterful 1968 film Tell Me Lies , which explores the Vietnam War spiral of violence). We remind you that our submissions call is open until 22 January 2025 (Early Bird rate finishes on 31 October).
October is marked by our collaboration with Flight – Genoa International Film Festival. The 5th edition will take place from 15 to 19 October in the capital of Liguria. For some years now, our two festivals have been exchanging ideas and creating exciting co-programming opportunities. This year, Genoa audiences will be able to meet Hungarian director Istvàn Szabò at his retrospective, as well as young Franco-Ukrainian director Erik Sémashkin, whose film ‘Nature Attack’ won the LUPETO Student Jury Prize in 2024. Rafael Lewandowski will be presenting his film ‘Herbert. Barbarian in the Garden’, which had its French premiere in Paris.
