Among the peaks that stand out against the sky and the deep silence of the valleys that preserve ancient stories, “Alte Visioni│Erto Film Festival” is born. It 's not just a film festival but a bridge of light and images thrown between the past and the future, between the memory and resilience of a territory unique in the world: Erto and Casso.
The purpose is twofold and deeply rooted in this land.
First, to honor the memory and learn from it. Erto and Casso are places that bear the scars of Vajont, an eternal reminder of the fragile balance between man and the environment. However, the mountains have also been the scene of epic historical events—think of the trenches of the First and Second World Wars or the transit routes and natural fortresses that have shaped entire civilizations and conflicts. With our awards and screenings, we want to create a space for deep reflection, where memory is not just a recollection but becomes a tool for awareness. We want cinema to help us explore the lessons of the past, understand the complexities of human choices, and promote an ethic of responsibility towards our planet and future generations. Every image projected will be a tribute to those who are no longer with us and an invitation to build a better tomorrow.
Secondly, to celebrate resilience, rebirth, and mountain life, which is not only a memory of tragedies. It is also living testimony to the unstoppable force of nature and the tenacity of the human spirit. Like some trees in the Bosco Vecchio forest, which were able to take root again after the landslide and whose branches have become new life, our community has been able to get back on its feet and look ahead. The festival aims to highlht this capacity for rebirth, the wild and untamed beauty of our mountains, the culture that animates them, and the new perspectives that are opening up. We want cinema to be a tool for telling stories of hope, adaptation, sustainability, and the deep connection between humans and the nature that surrounds them.

WITA, Wildcat International Talent Award, is an international online film festival dedicated to Independent cinema, based in Rome, Italy.
Our mission is to recognize, enhance and give visibility to the true talents of independent cinema that, like the Wildcat, a wonderful protected species in danger of extinction, risk not being rightly appreciated in the international independent scene and therefore not being considered.
Our goal is to reward all the artistic figures who contribute to the making of a film: directors, screenwriters, actresses and actors, authors of photography, music, editing and scenography, because only thanks to the work of everyone can a good film be made. In special cases, the award reserves the possibility of awarding further recognition.
The jury is composed of experts in the sector and the works will be evaluated based on criteria such as originality, technical quality, experimentation and artistic value.
On an annual basis, the Festival selects the finalists of each category by promoting the trailers of their works and related video interviews on all social channels and on the festival website. The winners will be announced within 60 days of the official announcement of all the finalists. The times and methods of awarding will be communicated on the festival channels and via email to participants.
