2023 EDITION
The Outdoor Film Festival, in its first edition, chose love as its central theme, paying tribute to the host city, San Valentino Torio, known as the "City of Lovers." This symbolic connection gave the event special significance, celebrating love in all its forms in a place that embodies its tradition and essence. Over the course of four days, the festival explored the theme of love through four main aspects, each dedicated to a fundamental part of life.
Self-love guided the audience toward authenticity and self-acceptance, addressing themes such as mental well-being, self-care, and the importance of individuality. Love for the environment raised awareness of the deep connection between humans and nature, offering films and discussions to celebrate the planet's beauty and promote sustainable actions. Love for others highlighted solidarity and empathy, sharing stories of communities and altruism that encourage the cultivation of genuine bonds. Finally, love for the other celebrated romantic and affectionate relationships, exploring their complexity, strength, and beauty through stories of deep and transformative connections.
With these four aspects, the festival established itself as a unique event, capable of combining reflection, emotion, and inspiration. The symbolic setting of San Valentino Torio made the initiative even more meaningful, placing love at the heart of every moment and leaving a lasting impression on the participants.
