Garofano Rosso Film Festival

From 5 to 11 September 2022

A Red Carnation to destroy all forms of limitation.
A Red Carnation to let emotions and vital energy filter through, beyond the obstacles that surround these times, a legacy that only art can give.
A Red Carnation to break the walls, opening the curtain to the cinema and its flow among the consciences.

and international participants and their mutual knowledge through art, they want to the same
time to foster a process of intercultural dialogue and social inclusion. The directors and guests involved are offered a series of morning activities aimed at
knowledge of the territory and cultural and anthropological exchange, such as pastoralism and agriculture,
culinary and historical traditions, with the aim of promoting the recognition of European values ​​and
cultural traditions that unite us and develop the awareness of being European citizens,
overcoming any kind of prejudice and social barrier.
