The originality of the Faito Doc is in the conjunction of a ‘naturally cinematographic’ place with the seventh art, nourished by a spirit of cheerful fraternity that reaches out to the participant, actor or spectator of the event, making him or her the protagonist of a cultural feast. Authors and directors come from all over the world with their own visions of reality, to present their films.
In fifteen years, the festival has sown a wealth of ideas and values that have restored cultural relevance to Monte Faito, also regenerating the spirit of the area and stimulating good energy and new activities in the area. The Faito is an extra-urban place, a natural park located 1,131 metres above sea level embracing two gulfs, facing the Bay of Naples, Vesuvius, the islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida it is a landscape imbued with nostalgia, appearing and disappearing in the clouds.
The sensory virtues of this mountain by the sea lend themselves to the screening of creative documentaries, to encounters and debates, and to the confrontation of strong and personal views and points of view on how to narrate reality in cinema. The belvedere and the changing light become simultaneously and thanks to cinema a beautiful view of the world in which we live.
