Sottodiciotto Film Festival Turns 25 with VR and Student Focus

The Sottodiciotto Film Festival & Campus, founded in 2000 by AIACE and the City of Turin, celebrates its 25th edition from December 12 to 16, 2024, under the theme Shaping Tomorrow. The festival will screen 228 films across five venues: Cinema Massimo, Circolo dei lettori, Museo Nazionale del Cinema Mole Antonelliana, Libreria Mille Oolp, and Aula di Scienze Umanistiche “Benvenuto A. Terracini” Palazzo Nuovo. A dedicated VR section, Presence. Esperienze Immersive, will be hosted at the Museo Nazionale del Cinema's CineVR chapels. The edition, directed by Cristina Colet and Enrico Verra, includes four days of residential masterclasses for European film school students, awards, and school programs with workshops. The visual identity features illustrations by Federica Bordoni (Febó) and an animated title sequence by Donato Sansone, depicting entry into a student's mind through a small door.
