Bridge Film Festival

The festival dedicated to the world of cinema and documentaries, Bridge Film Festival, returns for its 13th edition, in the iconic locations of last year.

From July 7 to 12, the locations of the ancient Customs House by the River and the Filippini Neighborhood are animated by unique initiatives, which also involve the Filippini neighborhood.

In addition to films, the program includes meetings with directors and international guests, parallel screenings, workshops, concerts, performances, exhibitions, and many other activities, all revolving around this year's theme, Skincare: I Want Beautiful Skin: a provocation; a concept that at first glance seems superficial transforms to open vast horizons of meaning, digging into the depths of the human being through that place of contact and separation where the signs of our existence become visible.

Contemporary cinema will guide us through the obsession with social filters in adolescence, a mirror of the myth of appearance, and the taboo of aging in a society in search of eternal youth. But the surface also tells deeper stories: those of the stigmas and prejudices related to racism that lazily stop at appearances, or those of gender transitions, where the body ceases to be a prison and the skin becomes the space to manifest one's authentic identity.
