“Versanti – Four Faces of the Mountain” is a film festival dedicated to the mountain and its multiple dimensions: exploration, discovery, the relationship between man and nature, and the human stories that arise in the most extreme environments. The initiative is curated by the SAT section of Folgaria and offers a selection of documentaries that recount mountaineering endeavors, adventurous travels, and lifestyles tied to mountain territories.
Through four appointments, the audience will be immersed in intense and authentic stories: from the great feats of international mountaineering to the explorations of alpine rivers, to travels in complete autonomy in the wild nature and testimonies of life in the mountainous regions of the world. Each film offers a different perspective on the mountain, showing how it can be a place of challenge, reflection, friendship, and survival.
The screenings take place at the Cinema Teatro Paradiso in Folgaria at 8:45 PM, with admission costing 4 euros.
