Filmentali x Teste fiorite

Cinema under the stars in Rifreddo

Filmentali x Teste fiorite is the summer open-air film festival bringing life to Rifreddo, a small town in the Po Valley in the province of Cuneo, at the foot of Monviso. The initiative takes the big screen out of traditional theaters and turns it into a shared experience: every screening is free, traveling, and designed primarily for children and their families, though open to the entire community.

A project born for the little ones

The festival combines two spirits. On one hand, Filmentali, the cinematic format created by Giovani di Turno ETS that uses film as a tool for reflection and togetherness; on the other, Teste fiorite - la cultura dei piccoli, the association's project aimed at offering children opportunities to encounter culture as a living, surprising, and daily experience. Theater, reading, cinema, art, nature, astronomy, and philosophy become tools to explore reality and cultivate the joy of discovery from a young age.

Town landmarks turned into theaters

The heart of the proposal is its traveling nature: each evening takes place in a different, significant location in Rifreddo, from the Rifreddo Landscape Lab to the Church of San Nicolao, from the Cistercian Monastery of Santa Maria della Stella to the primary school garden. A map of spaces that invites you to rediscover the area through the universal language of cinema, turning corners of the village into places for meeting and sharing.

Films chosen to grow together

The selection favors animated titles capable of speaking to both adults and children, addressing themes such as the courage to be oneself, the relationship with the environment, and emotions. The films are not just entertainment, but starting points for family discussions on important issues, in line with the educational spirit that characterizes all activities of Giovani di Turno ETS in the region.

A young and deeply rooted organization

Behind the festival is the association Giovani di Turno ETS, which has built a path in Rifreddo over the years consisting of workshops, moments of dialogue, and cultural initiatives aimed at the community, often in collaboration with MagicBus for artistic workshops dedicated to children. Filmentali x Teste fiorite represents the natural summer continuation of this work, in a town in the Province of Cuneo that makes accessible and shared culture a hallmark of its identity in Piedmont.
