The 27th edition of the CinemAmbiente Festival, Italy’s most important event dedicated to environment-themed films, organised by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema and directed by Lia Furxhi, will take place from 4 to 9 June 2024 in Turin and online on the OpenDDB platform, where a selection of the titles on the programme will be visible in replication, via the website www.festivalcinemambiente.it, until 18 June. The Festival is this year dedicated to the memory of Gaetano Capizzi, its founder and historic director, who died prematurely last year.

The 2024 edition presents 76 films, arriving from 27 countries, representing 4 continents. Proposed in the now traditional subdivisions – the Documentary Competition, the Short Film Competition and the two non-competitive sections Made in Italy and Panorama, plus a number of special screenings – the films on show reflect the many facets assumed today by the environmental crisis, in which the boundary between global and local is becoming increasingly thin, bringing to the surface unresolved and increasingly pressing problems.
