FESTIVAL DEI LUMI

Welcome to the Festival dei Lumi, a sanctuary for independent cinema nestled in the heart of Soriano nel Cimino. Here, the ancient forests of the Cimini mountains and the medieval streets of this historic town become the backdrop for stories that transcend boundaries.

Each year, the Festival dei Lumi brings together filmmakers, artists, and audiences who believe in the power of cinema to inspire, challenge, and connect. Organized by the esteemed Cultural Association Aedon, this festival is more than a showcase—it is a celebration of creative freedom and artistic integrity.

Soriano nel Cimino is a place where history and inspiration meet. Once a haven for Italian cultural icons like Pier Paolo Pasolini and Luigi Pirandello, this charming town has long been a refuge for those who see the world differently. From the poetic verses of Pirandello dedicated to the beech forest to the cinematic visions of Pasolini, Soriano is a land of stories waiting to be told.

Join us at the Festival dei Lumi—where every film is a spark, and every screening is a moment of discovery.
