Ora! Fest is the International Film Festival in Apulia dedicated to the environment, sustainability and social justice.

Our guests, including world-renowned actors, screenwriters, and producers, come together to discuss concrete actions that could improve our quality of life and how to also foster environmental protection through cinematic works.

ORA!FEST is a low environmental impact event certified by Ecoactions - Legambiente. Ecoactions - Legambiente is a certification for low environmental impact events, granted after a series of evaluations based on protocol that outlines best sustainability practices for event organisation. The goal is to minimise the impact on the environment and local area caused by the event.

Among our guests: Marisa Tomei, Edward Norton, Alfre Woodard, Oliver Stone, Jeremy Irons, Matt Dillon, Helen Mirren, and many others.

Our mission is to nurture young film creators and encourage new generations to explore the potential of cinema as a means of expression and a tool for social change. To this end, the festival aims to build a lasting bridge between industry experts and emerging talents, supporting them in their growth journey and establishing a bond for years to come.

With the Official Competition of debut and second directional works, the festival provides an extraordinary opportunity for these emerging authors, connecting them with the film industry at the highest levels.

FOR REASONS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE FESTIVAL, THIS HAS BEEN POSTPONED.
STAY TUNED ON ALL OUR CHANNELS TO FIND OUT THE NEW DATES.

ORA!Fest WILL BE BACK SOON!
