The program

A departure for a journey that will take the spectator to unexpected and varied places. The festival includes very different genres and points of view, though all are moving towards a new destination. Following in the footsteps of the great Italian and foreign documentary film makers the Versus festival also encourages and welcomes young and emerging directors, writers and researchers in the field s of cinema and visual art.
There will be around 50 events held during the week-long  festival, which will, for the first time, open its doors on how the cinema can arouse emotions and talk about life both on and off the screen.

Meetings, screenings, practical lessons, seminars, workshops, readings, trails and walks in the town and the surrounding area, concerts and performances from 9am until late at night are all intended to help discover places, people and stories.
