BIO FILM FESTIVAL (2025)
Agricultural and environmental biodiversity is an invaluable treasure that we are entrusted with safeguarding for future generations. It plays a pivotal role not only in the preservation of ecosystems but also in shaping our culture, economy, and gastronomy. The Bio Film Festival, now entering its third edition in 2025, is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity and encouraging action towards its protection.
This year’s edition will focus on ecological regeneration as its central theme. Through a collection of films that explore biodiversity’s many dimensions—be it the delicate balance of nature, the impact of climate change, or innovative solutions for sustainable agriculture—the festival will foster important conversations and inspire collective responsibility. The event will continue to be a tribute to nature and a celebration of the harvest, emphasizing the vital connection between the environment and human well-being.
Held in the breathtaking province of Belluno, nestled amidst the Dolomites (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the festival will take place in the village of Sospirolo. Here, a unique outdoor theater will set the stage for an unforgettable cinematic experience, surrounded by lush landscapes that are emblematic of the themes of the festival.
The Bio Film Festival 2025 will feature a range of film genres, including documentaries, short fiction films, and animations, each offering diverse perspectives on biodiversity and ecological sustainability. The films will serve as both a reflection on the current state of our planet and a call to action for the preservation of its natural wealth. At the closing ceremony, awards will be given for the Best Documentary, Best Short Film, and Best Animated Film, celebrating the creativity and impact of filmmakers addressing environmental challenges.
The festival's logo, depicting a child restoring life to a gray world devoid of biodiversity, symbolizes hope, regeneration, and the possibility of a renewed future. The Bio Film Festival 2025 stands as a powerful platform for promoting education, creative engagement, and action to preserve our planet’s diverse ecosystems and agricultural heritage.

PHILOSOPHY
What drive us:
A contest dedicated to transcendental cinema, at its several meanings, including philosophic, psychological, scientific, anthropological, spiritual and poetic cinema.
Because transcendence in the man and the world, might be eventually ineffable and, on this, cinematographic art has certain advantages, and a huge responsibility.
FREE CINEMA
All cinematographic possibilities are welcome, with a major interest on rareties
WITHOUT TIME
Cinemística as an open space-time, with non restrictive features, enabling the authors to develop their own language: all formats, duration, nationality, year of production, etc. are accepted.
A REFUGE
An international refuge for films that intend, technically or with the plot, an approaching to the big mystery of world representation, in the art and in the man. Without dogmas, under any individual or collective perspective, from faith, but also from agnosticism, spiritual atheism and scientific thought.
A POETIC CINEMA OF CONTEMPLATION
Filmmakers' looks, in all their socio-cultural diversity, interested in any film as a result of personal discovering, researching or experimentation, inspiration and work, from revelation or introspection of the authors. Quotidian, ecstasy and disparity as structures to create depth on the film treatment.
ASCETICISM
Mysticism and asceticism in film production represent, probably, a more absolute estate compare to others, because a cinema with huge budget and more technical complexity could be done, but sometimes the most humble and simple film is, however, universal.
THE STILL
Impermanent cinematographies, from the still, from 'amateur' cinema (from French verb aimer), define directors not only by what they show and how they do it on screen, but by what they decide not to show.
PHENOMENOLOGY
What appears and disappears, topologies emergence, materials or conscious, and their invisibility or subsequent expiration. The sequential surroundings of emptiness, of matters and time. Shafts at the discourse, eloquent, everyone can understand it by himself. Absence and miracle: Mystic as a possible cohabit together.
CORDIALITY, COMMUNICATION & COLLOQIUMS
Great importance of the colloquiums and live interaction between spectators and filmmakers. maximum communication, respect, sympathy and closeness from the organization to the filmmakers, artists and directors who come to present their films.
From sailors exploring new seas to astronauts reaching space, we have always gazed to the sky with a desire to go further. Moonstep International Short Film Festival – A First Step into Cinema is created to keep looking up without ever stopping imagining. It’s an invitation to take the first step with daring, just like the first humans on the Moon.
We are looking for emerging artists, voices that demand to be heard, to offer them a space for expression and dialogue. In its first edition, this International Short Film Festival is a starting point for those who dream of making cinema their destination.
As good organizers, we too are ready to take the first step and get out there: behind the Moonstep International Short Film Festival there are 45 young people under 30, coming from Italy, Belgium and Hungary, all passionate about arts and event organization.
Moonstep is our first step into the world of cinema… and we want to do it in a big way!
M.S.F.F. reflects the essence of cinema: each film is a journey, a discovery, an act of imagination that leaves a mark. How the moon has inspired countless stories, the Moonstep International Short Film Festival wants to be a starting point for new narratives, a place where young cinematic art can shine with the same intensity as the night sky.
The moon is the perfect metaphor for a series of profound meanings that resonate with the impossible journey, the courage to explore the unknown and of course also the magic of cinema.
The subtitle A First Step into the Cinema completes the name of the festival, Moonstep, underlining its role as a launching pad for young talents. As important as the concept of "first step" does not only apply to emerging directors, who will participate in the festival, but also to festival organizers: we are a group of young people from Italy, Belgium and Hungary, who came together to give life to this event.
Theme of this edition of the Moonstep International Short Film Festival: (Dis)connection by frames is to reflect on the relationship between the individual, nature and technology, and on the way in which the various elements of our world are intertwined. The subtitle plays on the dualism between connection and disconnection, exploring how humans relate to their own reality through images, with a particular focus on the connection with the surrounding environment and the slowing down of the frenetic dynamics of daily life. Today disconnection and connection from opposites have practically become two synonyms, or one the consequence of the other, both due to the technological revolution we are facing and the continuous social changes. In this sense, the theme of alienation is central, of completely detaching ourselves from the world we live in, a world that does not seem to have understood the mistakes of the last century and continues to repeat itself; in this sense alienation is emblematic of what our generation, a generation with a strong break with previous generations and which would like to push towards a great change, but finds itself fighting with different realities (political, climatic, etc.) which barely support it. The invitation of the festival is to disconnect from the fast pace required, the constantly increasing novelties and impossible expectations, thus also finding a sort of "inner peace" by recreating moments of "slow life". Slowing down and awareness become tools of redemption, inviting us to rediscover the beauty of simplicity and authentic relationships.
Moonstep Short Film Festival is part of a project named “Be Unit”.
“Be Unit” is a youth lead project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ program and promoted by a partnership consisting of Cooperativa Orso and Epica Film (based in Turin), Pour la Solidarité (based in Brussels), and Galileo Non Profit (based in Budapest).
