The Religion Today Film Festival is an international film festival that from 13-20 Sept. 2023 featured 45 films from 22 different countries. The festival, which took place in the Italian cities of Trento, Arco, Dro and Lavarone, was a true laboratory of coexistence, a venue for exchange, which through events and meetings told stories of faiths, religions, cultures and, above all, people. This year’s event, acknowledged as a festival of diversity and comparison, focused on the role of community.
“The 26th edition of the festival,” explains artistic director Andrea Morghen, “aimed to deepen the concept of community by linking it to that of the digital community so dear to young people. It was an opportunity not only to rethink community through the lens of cinema, but to understand how this word can be expressed in a future of great changes.”
Religion Today will continue on its traveling route through November 2023, stopping in Riva del Garda, Rome, Marina di Camerota and the Vatican Filmoteca.
