Our film festival was born in 2022 - as a response to the global changes, upheavals and forced isolation caused by the Covid-19 disaster. At a time when cultural life came to a standstill and the usual event formats collapsed under the onslaught of restrictions, we saw not the end, but the beginning of something new. We decided: art cannot and should not be locked within four walls. Cinema is the living breath of humanity, and it should sound loud, far and free. That is when the idea of a festival that knows no boundaries - geographical, physical or mental - was born.
We chose the path that leads not back - to restrictions - but forward, to freedom. We refused to limit ourselves to the number of seats in the hall and the number of spectators in front of the screen. We decided that films born with such passion and meaning should be available to the whole world. Thanks to digital opportunities, we did not just adapt - we transformed. We have made watching and discussing films accessible to everyone, regardless of location, language or time zone. And every year this approach bears fruit - with each season more and more directors, viewers, film critics and those simply in love with cinema join us.
And now - we invite you too.
Discover the magic of cinema, immersed in an atmosphere of inspiration, dialogue and visual splendor - right in the heart of the majestic Alps. This is not just a festival - it is a journey into a world of stories, craftsmanship and emotions, framed by fresh mountain air, mirror lakes and snow-capped peaks.
Here, among the Alpine landscapes, the screen becomes a window into the infinity of human imagination.
Join us - and become part of an international film festival, where every frame breathes freedom, every work sounds like a revelation, and every meeting becomes an inspiration.
