\n17:30-18:15<\/strong> apertura del Festival e saluti istituzionali\n

\n1\u00b0 SESSIONE DI PROIEZIONE (18:15-20:30)<\/strong><\/strong> Everything we love about GIFF: high-quality films from the circuit that remain accessible to everyone. The festival opens with the new feature film by Oscar nominee Mehdi Norowzian, followed by two globally successful short films (Fantasies of a Rescue Dummy, 29th of February).\n

\nSCREENING SESSION 2 (21:30-00:30) \u2013 Tension and Breaking Points.<\/strong>\u00a0A session crossing multiple genres\u2014realism, sci-fi, and thriller. Featuring two world premieres (Bad Form and Bullet Brain) and two excellent Italian shorts (Phobos and Il nemico), the night concludes with the ultra-fast-paced Swedish thriller The Watchmaker. In between, a conversation with actor Sebastian Mayberg on the realities of acting for Netflix.\n

\nSabato 30 maggio 2026<\/strong><\/strong><\/span>\n

\nSCREENING SESSION 3 (16:30-18:15) \u2013 Human Relations.<\/strong> A discussion with director (and Jury President) Kaveh Daneshmand on what it means to be a director in today\u2019s cinema…\u00a0then, we dive straight into the world of relationships\u2014be they romantic, platonic, or familial\u2014to explore the conflicts that sometimes destroy them, yet sometimes regenerate them. Featuring 4 different films and 4 premieres (Italian and international), including the Oscar-shortlisted Pantyhose.\n

\nSCREENING SESSION 4 (18:30-20:30) \u2013 Old and New Frontiers.<\/strong> Beyond war (explored in the award-winning My Name is Hope), we examine the new reality of sex workers in Signal Path and, above all, the only frontier we should all be fighting for: saving our planet.\n

\nSCREENING SESSION 5 (21:30-00:30) \u2013 Thriller Night.<\/strong> Tension, psychological distress, adrenaline, and a race against time: these are the themes tackled by 3 premiere films (Story of a Beauty and a Beast, The Refusal, Screaming Metal) and the Mexican thriller Violentas Mariposas, which invites us to reflect on how a corrupt society impacts hopeful young people.\n

\nDomenica 31 maggio 2026<\/strong><\/strong><\/span>\n

\nSCREENING SESSION 6 (10:00-13:00) \u2013 Cultural Encounters and Universal Themes.<\/strong> We open with African ethnic dances by the Abia International Film Festival, GIFF\u2019s special guest, and explore alternative ways of living and storytelling through documentary cinema. Alongside these differences, we reflect on the common ground of a just society: gender equality, told through touching and deeply sincere films.\n

\nSCREENING SESSION 7 (14:00-16:15) \u2013 The Beauty of Cinematography as a Deep Message.<\/strong> Visual magnificence is a powerful tool for reflection, especially in film. We open with the artistic performance \u201cHome is a mother, home is a mirror,\u201d followed by two visually majestic films (The Life Cycle of the Cicadas and Glorious Summer \u2013 shot on film) that quietly invite us to contemplate life, even when the world seems to be heading in the wrong direction.\n

\nSCREENING SESSION 8 (16:30-18:30) \u2013 The Grand Finale.<\/strong> The culmination of everything experienced at the festival: great cinema, exclusive screenings, and insights from industry professionals. Rachel Knowles discusses working with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Paramount as the head of the Australian post-production house, BluePost. Following the international premiere of the Japanese film Super Super Movie, we close with three major titles: The Last Harvest, the Student Academy Award semi-finalist The Funeral Rehearsal, and the Cannes Palme d\u2019Or winner I\u2019m Glad You\u2019re Dead Now.\n

\n19:00-20:30<\/strong> \u2013 Cerimonia di premiazione\n

\n21:00-00:00<\/strong> \u2013 Gal\u00e0 finale e cena di networking\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
