First Hermetic International Film Festival (FHIFF)

Welcome to the Hermetic International Film Festival!
- the Esoteric and Occult Film Festival in Italy -

We want to celebrate the visions: cinematography and Hermetica are both terrific imaginatively visionary cultures.

The 6th edition of the First Hermetic International Film Festival is now accepting your Feature film / Short movie / Documentary / Animation film / Experimental film / Music Video / Web project in the field of: Hermeticism / Alchemy / Esotericism / Cabala / Gnosticism / Magic / Occultism and occult philosophies / Rosicrucianism / Witchcraft / New Age / Theosophy / Anthroposophy / Freemasonry / Metaphysics / Spiritism / Mystery / Supernatural / Astrology / Science and Healing / Cults / Divination and any other occulture.

Contemporary esotericism is intimately, and increasingly, connected with popular culture and new media: for this reason, we want to support such a visual fascination, the storylines revolving around neglected knowledge and the frantic search for the divine upon hidden paths of spirituality.

We are looking forward to seeing your film. Submit your work today!

Best regards,
the FHIFF team
