We are looking for great stories about religions, today!

Therefore, the 24th edition's aim is to promote a conscious and non-rhetorical knowledge of the religions considering the theme of TRAVEL AND PILGRIMAGE, which belongs to many religions.

Religion Today is an international and itinerant film festival dedicated to religious diversity for a culture of peace and interfaith dialogue. It promotes a journey “exploring the differences”, both in religious practices and beliefs and in cinematic styles and languages, towards a mutual enrichment through reciprocal knowledge and comparison.

Together with the world cinema competition, open to any film with a religious connection, it offers a platform for exchanging ideas and viewpoints, including a “living workshop” involving filmmakers of different faiths and nationalities.

    30 settembre 2020: MOTHER FORTRESS premiato come Miglior Documentario dal Religion Today Film Festival, una data che non si dimentica! E' stata una giornata speciale, quasi fiabesca accompagnata dalla musica di Ennio Morricone che risuonava fra le Dolomiti di Brenta a Madonna di Campiglio, in Trentino.
    Entusiasmo, coraggio, precisione, calore umano sono i tratti degli organizzatori che hanno offerto accoglienza e profondità di dialogo: dal Direttore artistico Andrea Morghen, alla coordinatrice Olha Vozna, a Sarah Maule e le volontarie, ufficio stampa, parroco, sacerdoti, ed i nobili promotori Alberto Beltrami e Lia Giovanazzi Beltrami.
    Tanta ironia e sorrisi: esperienza sempre più rara nel nostro incerto presente. E alla radice del successo del Festival: radicamento alla Madre Terra e libero respiro verso il Cielo!

    Traveling to Trento, Italy to screen my documentary QUARANTINED FAITH was an unforgettable experience. The staff and volunteers of the wonderful Religion Today Film Festival were exemplary, with amazing communication, hospitality, and a marvelous program of films and community events.
