About the festival

Montagna Italia Association was founded in 1996 with the aim of promoting the mountain territory and its expressions, with the intention to support tourism, local culture and the environment. In 2016, it created the "Spirit of the Mountain"
Circuit, which is a network of Festivals dedicated to the mountains and located in different cities and periods.
Currently, the "Spirit of the Mountain" Circuit is divided into some independent film festivals:

 Orobie Film Festival - Seriate | BG | January
 Verona Mountain Film Festival - Verona | January
 Sestriere Film Festival - Sestriere | TO | August
 Swiss Mountain Film Festival - Pontresina | Switzerland | August

The Circuit Festivals are held in cities that, by geographical location or vocation, care about the theme of the mountains and that intercept the interest and consensus of a wide audience of film lovers, hikers and mountain lovers. The initiatives
prove to be a privileged opportunity to make the richness of the mountains and the history of their people known, which are presented from the perspective of directors who are sensitive to these issues.

Only Italian language of the movie (or with Italian subtitles) is accepted.

Awards and plaques.
Prizes are awarded during the final evening of each Festival. If the winner or his representative cannot be present, the prize will not be sent.
