FLIGHT – Mostra Internazionale del Cinema di Genova 2026

International cinema in the heart of Genoa

FLIGHT – Mostra Internazionale del Cinema di Genova is one of the most interesting film events in Liguria. Its uniqueness lies in the choice of venues: not a single large hall, but a network of cinemas, film clubs, and art galleries spread throughout the historic centre and multicultural districts of Genoa, which become spaces for screenings and encounters. A distributed format that invites you to rediscover the city through cinema.

Over seventy screenings

The programme features over seventy screenings and encompasses diverse genres and origins, with a particular focus on independent and international cinema. The festival draws inspiration from cinema's ability to speak directly to emotions, following Ingmar Bergman's famous reflection on the power of film as "dream" and "music".

The Volo in Liguria section

The novelty of the 2026 edition is the competitive section "Volo in Liguria", dedicated to films with a connection to the region: settings, stories, directors, or productions that tell the story of the Ligurian territory. A way to promote regional cinema and strengthen the bond between the festival and its city.

A festival rooted in the territory

Organised by the Associazione Culturale 28 Dicembre with the patronage of the University of Genoa and the support of city and regional institutions, FLIGHT selects films through the international platform FilmFreeway and awards a prize list each year. It is a festival that combines an international scope with a strong Genoese identity.
