Organized by Gabbianella Club Srls with the contribution of the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities (Directorate General for Cinema and Audiovisual).

Beyond The Vision is a film festival that looks at the relationship between architecture, design and audiovisual works. Often, in fact, it is precisely this relationship that defines the style of a work. The encounter between cinema and architecture has always been rich in exchanges and intertwining, material and intangible. Architecture is not an aseptic container but a space dedicated to the filmic story, a means for a real narrative evolution, a set, an active actor of the story. Physical space can tell human psychology directly or indirectly, through the combination of these two arts that enhance everyday or exceptional experiences.

The Afragola Film Festival (A.F.F.) aims to evaluate those stories that have a particular focus on urban, suburban or peripheral architectures that shape, form, collect, reject or enhance the stories they contain.
