Pertosa Grotte Soulplace Film Festival is an international competition with live screenings open to filmmakers from all over the world.
It takes place in the Caves of Pertosa-Auletta (Campania, Italy) and its purpose is to help independent cinematography talents and filmmakers to improve their career.
The Pertosa-Auletta Caves are our new non conventional location for Soulplace Film Festival. Located in the Alburni Mountains, the Pertosa-Auletta Caves are one of the focal geosites of the "Cilento" Geopark.
They are the only caves in Italy where you can navigate an underground river, the Negro, and are the only ones in Europe to preserve the remains of a pile-dwelling village dating back to the second millennium B.C.
The event is patronaged by the MidA Foundation.
We accept films of all genres and also shorts. Award-winning films will be screened in public before the award ceremony.
