Doppio Sogno

The twenty-fifth edition of Doppio Sogno celebrated the festival's quarter-century in the historic garden of Villa Pignatelli, on the Riviera di Chiaia in Naples, Campania. From July 8th to 24th, 2025, over nine evenings spread across Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, the public was able to watch a selection of films that marked the history of cinema under the stars, all presented in their original version with Italian subtitles.

The chosen theme, «Opera incerta», guided a program that spanned very different authors, from Jim Jarmusch to Aki Kaurismäki, from Sidney Lumet to Jafar Panahi, from Louis Malle to Clint Eastwood, as well as Kim Ki-duk, Douglas Sirk, and Lawrence Kasdan. Each screening was preceded by an introduction curated by critics and professors from the Neapolitan universities Federico II and L'Orientale, with keys to interpretation designed to enrich the viewing experience.

As per tradition, the entry fee remained fixed at 5 euros, a symbolic figure for an event that combines culture, beauty, and accessibility.
