Titolo 1

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. Today, with pride, we can say that the Outdoor Film Festival is one of the most international festivals in Italy, a crossroads of cultures, talents, and ideas, where new generations find their voice and their audience.

 

Over the years, we have welcomed international stars, but let me tell you this: the real stars are the young people. It is their stories, their passion, and their courage that light up our festival days. Because cinema, more than a spectacle, is an act of love for the world and for oneself.

 

To all of you young people, who have a dream hidden in a drawer or a story waiting to be told: this is your moment. Participate, let yourself be carried away, and above all, believe in the power of your ideas. This festival is not just an event, it is an invitation to believe that, even starting from a small village, you can go anywhere. We are international by vocation, local by passion: a festival that celebrates global talent without ever forgetting its roots.

 

Cinema teaches us that every journey begins with a first step. Yours can start here, with us. Join this adventure, because together we can build something that will last far beyond the duration of a screening.

​

Thank you for being part of this dream. Keep dreaming, creating, and believing, because this is only the beginning. The future of cinema awaits you, and we can’t wait to build it together.

 

With gratitude,

Giuliano Squitieri

Director, Outdoor Film Festival
