Little-big-cinema

It was held for the first time in 2024. This “little cinema”, created outside of the big industries, is characterised by its authenticity and independence, and these features allow it to explore critical topics from a closer and more committed perspective.

In addition to the festival, activities have been organised in collaboration with the academic world, and the directors will offer a film workshop and a talk together with students.
