Trento Film Festival
The Trento Film Festival, or the "Mountain Festival" is scheduled in Trento from 24 April to 4 May 2025. Founded in 1952, the "Trento Film Festival"is the first and oldest international film festival dedicated to the themes of mountains, adventure and exploration.
The poster of the 73rd edition of the Trento Film Festival represents a glacier, that of Kluane Park in Canada, portrayed by one of the greatest working photographers, Sebastião Salgado. A poster that is a work of art, in the International Year for the Conservation of Glaciers. A cry that reminds us how glaciers are indicators of the state of health of the mountains.
It is just one of the themes that will animate the Festival's shows and meetings on cinema, mountains and cultures, in Trento from 25 April to 4 May 2025.
Argentina is the destination chosen by the Trento Film Festival for thisedition. A nation far away in space but close to the Trentino people both for the long history of migration that has interested them, and for the love of the mountains.
Finally, we will also talk about Western mountain cinema, a specific theme that thisyear accompanies the usual sections of the Festival.
Cinema, therefore, the protagonist of the Festival, with previews, meetings and debates, in the context of related events of great importance, such as the exhibition on Salgado at the Muse in Trento and at the Mart in Rovereto.
Destination Argentina
Every year the Trento Film Festival takes us to a different land. If 2024 was the year of Ireland, this 2025 brings us to South America, Argentina, a land of migration and mountaineering, home to some of the most iconic mountain ranges in the world: the Andes, but above all the peaks of Patagonia.
Among the titles that will compose the film selection of "Destination... Argentina", international premieres such as Soberanos ( below, an image from the film) stand out, which tells how three young idealists, in September 1966, hijacked a scheduled plane to go and "reconquer" the Malvinas, better known as the "Falkland Islands"
Among the Italian premieres, of great interest is the feature film El aroma del pasto nouveau by Celina Murga (Argentina, 2024), with Martin Scorsese as executive producer.
"Destination..." thisyear also presents two novelties: a restoration by the Pablo Ducrós Hicken Film Museum and a 4K reissue, plus a series of tributes intended to recover the contemporary masters of Argentine cinema.
Not only cinemas
Argentina, therefore, on the big screens, but also in the streets and squares, with a rich calendar of side events.
It starts on April 25 with a concert at Santa Chiara Park. A producer, a trumpet player, a percussionist and five singers will lead us to discover cumbia, a genre that, starting from Colombia, has traveled throughout Latin America until it finds its own expression even overseas.
And if we talk about music and Argentina, we also talk about tango, which will enliven the exhibition square with an Exhibition of Argentine tango and milonga.
Among the events, the presentation of the podcast "Daughters": memory of the disappeared, a six-part project born from the meeting between Sofia Borri and Sara Poma, which tells the story of Sofia and her mother who in 1978, when she was only two years old, was kidnapped and became one of the thirty thousand disappeared. A tragic page in the history of Argentina.
The exhibition in Trento and Rovereto "Sebastião Salgado. Glaciers.”
Among the events related to the Festival, the exhibition at the Muse in Trento and at the Mart in Rovereto is a highlight of this 73rd edition.
From 12 April 2025 to 11 January 2026, MUSE designed a large site-specific installation in the spaces of the "Grande Vuoto", the heart of the museum designed by the architect Renzo Piano. It is a unique nucleus of photos taken by the Brazilian artist in Canada, in Kluane Park.
The Mart of Rovereto, on the other hand, hosts from 12 April to 21 September 2025, over 50 photographs of Salgado, in large and very large format, of glaciers from all over the world.
