We are looking for great stories about religions, today!
Therefore, the 23th edition's aim is to promote a conscious and non-rhetorical knowledge of the religions considering the theme of THE BEAUTY OF CREATION, which can be found in many religions.
Religion Today is an international and itinerant film festival dedicated to religious diversity for a culture of peace and interfaith dialogue. It promotes a journey “exploring the differences”, both in religious practices and beliefs and in cinematic styles and languages, towards a mutual enrichment through reciprocal knowledge and comparison.
Together with the world cinema competition, open to any film with a religious connection, it offers a platform for exchanging ideas and viewpoints, including a “living workshop” involving filmmakers of different faiths and nationalities.
The 23rd edition of the Festival will take place in September 2020 in Trento and will include the followings sections:
> International competition;
> Thematic sessions for special awards.
The films admitted to the International competition will be judged by an Inter-religious Jury of experts that will award the Religion Today "In the Spirit of Faith" in addition to the prizes for each film category, the directors of nominated films will be our guests in Trento.
From among all the nominations the SIGNIS (World Catholic Association for Communication) Jury will award their prize. The films admitted to the Thematic sessions will compete for the special awards which will be conferred by Italian technical juries. -
