LATERALE FILM FESTIVAL is an international non-competitive festival of cinematic art organized by the Associazione Culturale Laterale.
Its aim is to highlight the most innovative aspects of contemporary audiovisual languages and to bridge the gap between artistic research and public engagement. Particular attention is given to young and independent filmmakers, as well as to self-made, no-budget works that result from individual exploration.
The festival promotes a free and stimulating platform for sharing, showcasing what is usually neglected or rejected due to its departure from conventional approaches to making and interpreting cinema.
It is a space that breaks down barriers and prejudices, resisting massification and standardization; a space that aims to become an artistic laboratory where the cinema of the future can be discovered today.
