A Festival Born from Young People, for Everyone

 

The Outdoor Film Festival is much more than a cinematic event: it is a symbol of cultural revival, born from the vision of a young dreamer, Giuliano Squitieri, who aspired to transform his homeland into an international stage. Set against the enchanting backdrop of San Valentino Torio, the festival stands as a tribute to talent, creativity, and the boundless energy of the younger generations. It is a project that celebrates the power of imagination and the ability of ideas to turn dreams into reality.  

 

From its very first edition, the Outdoor Film Festival has captured the hearts of audiences with its unique and unforgettable atmosphere. Each evening transforms into a magical event under the stars, where cinema becomes a gateway to exploring profound emotions and stories that resonate across all generations. Between screenings of stirring films and close encounters with internationally renowned artists and directors, the festival builds bridges between cultures, generations, and perspectives, offering every participant an immersive and memorable experience. Every detail is crafted with care: the red carpet warmly welcomes guests with elegance, while a jury of young cinema enthusiasts works passionately to highlight innovative and original works.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With its second edition, the Outdoor Film Festival evolves further, embracing an inspiring central theme: “The Dream”. This guiding thread runs through every aspect of the festival, inviting participants, filmmakers, and audiences to explore the idea of dreams as the driving force of creativity. “The Dream” is not just a theme but a true call to believe in the impossible, to push beyond one’s limits, and to imagine a future where everyone can leave their mark on the world.  

 

The carefully curated film selections showcase the diversity and richness of cinematic expression, alternating with moments of dialogue and interaction with industry professionals. Each evening becomes an intense and engaging journey, transporting the audience through a kaleidoscope of emotions, ideas, and hopes. It is not just entertainment: it is an invitation to reflect, to dream, and to share.  

One of the festival’s most eagerly anticipated moments is the awards ceremony, where emerging talents are celebrated with enthusiasm. The prestigious “Taurus”, a unique statuette crafted by a local artist, symbolizes the passion and dedication that inspire every participant. This award is more than a recognition—it is a tribute to the creativity and determination of those who, through cinema, succeed in telling stories that touch the heart.  

 

But the Outdoor Film Festival is not limited to cinema. It is an event that embraces art in all its forms, transforming San Valentino Torio into a vibrant crossroads of music, culture, and social connection. Exclusive after-parties, masterclasses with industry experts, and a dedicated lounge area provide every guest with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the festival’s atmosphere. Each moment is designed to offer a 360-degree experience, where everyone can find their own space and rhythm.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Outdoor Film Festival is far more than a film showcase: it is an experience that touches the heart and soul, inviting people to dream, to feel, and to become part of something greater. Here in San Valentino Torio, cinema becomes the glue that binds a community, the medium through which diverse people come together and create emotions that last a lifetime.  

 

Every detail of the festival, from the choice of locations to the side events, is meticulously crafted to celebrate the beauty of art and the power of human connection. In a fast-paced world, the Outdoor Film Festival offers a unique opportunity to slow down, look around, and rediscover the magic of sharing stories under a starlit sky.  

 

Live the Dream. Be part of the Outdoor Film Festival.

To all of you,

 

Welcome to the Outdoor Film Festival, a place where stories come to life, boundaries dissolve, and dreams become reality. Here, in the small village of San Valentino Torio, a place that seems to have come straight out of a movie, we have transformed a simple idea into an event that speaks to the world.

 

This festival was born from a vision: to create a space where young people could take center stage. Because we firmly believe that the future belongs to them, to you, to us.

GIULIANO SQUITIERI

The Taurus: The symbol of those who make their mark.

Our festival stands out for its international vocation and its commitment to showcasing young talents and major personalities from the global film scene. The Taurus has been awarded to beloved Italian faces such as Matilde Gioli and Lino Guanciale, as well as iconic figures like Michael Caton-Jones, Stuart Martin, Kat Graham, and Kelly Rutherford. These artists, with their talent and passion, have inspired young creatives from all over the world to push their limits and make their mark.
