The Bridge Film Festival is a four days festival in Verona (Italy), focused on "real cinema", at its 10th edition.
Each year, we chose a theme to develop through documentary, docu-fiction, experimental, short or medium feature films screened in and out of our competition. The line-up is selection of works by both renowned international and emerging local or foreign directors, who are remarkable thanks to their subjects, directorial method and cinematographic technique.
The chosen theme works as a "fil-rouge" for spectators who can experience a multi-sensory experience (from the food served at the bar to the various artistic performances) and interactive (practical video-making/performing workshops).
We are looking for different points of view in the development of our central theme: a common thread will always be a link between all the parts of the event, giving an idea of unity and complementarity to the whole.
