FILM SCREENING PROGRAMS

A series of films that explore the social and political features of the Marconi neighbourhood and of the city of Rome from a trans-national and inter-cultural perspective. The selections 2025 and 2026 have dealt with work and alienation in order to challenge exploitation, racism and gender discrimination.

An event celebrating the synergy of cinema and music combining film screenings with live music performances.

The program explores soundscapes from Balkan cinema by engaging with the languages, cultural histories and sonicities present in Brussels (and particularly Schaerbeek) beyond the clichés of an exotic and othered ‘Eastern European’ culture.

The festival promotes Albanian cinema in Italy in order to open a reflection on the complicated legacies of colonialism in Albanian-Italian relations. The event aims at inverting the dominant gaze on Albanians who are portrayed by Italian media and films as poor and criminals savages to be saved, civilised and disciplined by Italians. The selection also features Italian films in order to create cinematic dialogues that highlight Albanian resistance against Italian imperialism and that raise awareness about the violent racism and exploitation that Albanian migrants experience in Italy.
