Religion Today Filmfestival
The Festival grows “older”! We’ll celebrate its 18th birthday and we’ll deal with the great questions of all time: Questioning God. Doubt and faith in the richness of the cinema of the whole world: in these difficult days, how can we feed our eternal search for meaning and answers to the great questions of our life?
All films will be shown in their original language, with Italian subtitles

55 films from 27 countries of all continents will take part in the Festival; they have been selected out of 250 enrollments.
Here below is the list per category.
