33rd Edition Festival Cineuropa
Festival held since 1988 throughout the entire month of November. Aimed exclusively at cinema buffs, it reviews the season’s best non-commercial cinema. Not to be missed in order to savour the city’s cultural atmosphere.
This year's Cineuropa festival focuses its attention on the vision and cinema made by women, which will be the thread for both the programming of the 33rd edition of the festival and its parallel activities. The woman, her relationship with the cinema and the feminine vision will be the protagonists in the official section of the festival and will also have a strong presence in the parallel sections, such as the special ones, the retrospective ones and in the round tables that this year will complete the programme.
