Nuova Rassegna Paradiso (3)

Inizio del Festival: 02 dicembre 2025      Festival si chiude: 05 dicembre 2025

The cultural association Tetra Vision, organizer of the “Nuova Rassegna Paradiso”, officially announces the opening of registrations for the third edition of the festival, which will take place on December 5, 2025, at a prestigious movie theater. The festival celebrates independent cinema, showcasing young talent and creating a meeting point for filmmakers, artists, and enthusiasts of the seventh art.

The event aims to stimulate a deep reflection on the themes of invisibility and marginalization through the language and evocative power of cinema.
The festival invites participants to explore the invisible dimension, including themes such as:
- Social isolation and alienation
- Dependencies of all kinds (psychological, emotional, technological, and forms of substance abuse)
- Inner struggles and personal challenges that are not always visible to others
- Invisibility in the media: the representation of society, diversity, and fragility

Participants will have the opportunity to receive feedback from industry experts, technical juries, and an engaged and passionate audience, thus contributing to the growth of the local film community.

An additional goal of the festival is to create networking opportunities, fostering collaborations between emerging artists and established professionals, as well as encouraging cultural exchange between different territorial realities.
