VOICES OF THE WOODS

📽️🚧 4th Edition

EARTH MEETS ITS STORIES

The theme of Voci dei Boschi Film Festival 2024 is darkness.
The darkness and silence of the forest in opposition to the brightness imposed on our cities and the light pollution to which, absentmindedly, we become accustomed.
The darkness of whispers and secrets in the fights for the rights of the land, of those who live and work on it. Darkness as the beauty of darkness. The philosophical darkness of the cave. The darkness of the womb from which life is born. The darkness of the nights of bonfires and traditional agricultural festivals.
“The energy of light, the comfort of shadow and the magic of darkness.” The voices of the woods speak peasant languages from all over the world.

INFO

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Voci Dei Boschi Film Festival is an International Film Festival that aims at the promotion of agriculture and sustainability.

“Voci dei Boschi” (Voices of the Woods), means to listen and showcase realities that rely on agriculture and farming; voices that talk about our roots, that represent us and support us, our history, culture and traditions.

LOCATION

Costa Vescovato rises among beautiful hills.

It is an Italian district located between two torrents - the Ossona and the Cornigliasca.

It’s an ancient land that, like the valleys that surround it, makes you feel part of another time whose beat is the work of those who live and farm it.

🎥 Emotions coming to the Film Festival! 🌟 In the meantime, we offer you the winners of the third edition of the Film Festival.
