Organized by the Allelammie cultural association in collaboration with Namavista Film, the festival presents international short and feature films in fiction, animation and documentary. Spazio Italia provides a separate competition for Italian productions, while non-competitive programming extends to web series, virtual reality, video art and gaming.
The festival also develops film education and interdisciplinary cultural activities through TILT. The dates for the 27th edition are 2–9 August 2026, with guilt as its central theme.
