TerraLenta Film Fest is an international film festival dedicated to environmental documentaries. The Festival is based in Pignola (PZ) in Basilicata, Italy.
The aim of the Festival is to promote independent and author documentary cinema, raise public and community awareness of environmental issues, foster cultural spaces for dialogue and learning, support multimedia research, and encourage eco-sustainable actions. TerraLenta is the intention to bring original artistic forms and offbeat culture, the experimentation of new ways of disseminating environmental issues through art and research. We believe that it is necessary to give space to a different form of divulgation, so critical, innovative and far from formalising; that's the reason why we set ourselves to support subjects with authentic contents and modes of expression.
The Festival was founded in 2024 as the evolution of a long-standing experience in the dissemination of cinema on environmental themes through independent film review in the high mountains (OasiCinema Festival), in order to promote the symbiosis between visual art and environmental research in unusual contexts, deliberately different from urban spaces.
TerraLenta Film Fest will take place in July, from 23 to 27, 2025. This will be its first edition, offering a unique opportunity to explore the world of cinema with a focus on environmental themes. The festival will take place in several fascinating locations, such as the historic center of Pignola (PZ), where the screenings will be held outdoors, and some historic buildings, including Palazzo Gaeta, which will serve as the festival's main headquarters.
In addition to the film screenings, the event will feature important moments of insight, such as seminars and educational workshops centered on the environment and related themes. The guests of the festival will have the opportunity to present their works and engage in discussions with the audience. The official festival program will be made available on May 25, 2025, allowing participants to learn about the scheduled events in detail.
This is an unmissable occasion for film enthusiasts and those interested in ecological and sustainability issues, set in the charming context of Southern Italy.
