Guerre & Pace FilmFest

2025 Edition: "Stories of Courage"

The twenty-third edition of the Guerre & Pace FilmFest was held at the Forte Sangallo in Nettuno from July 21 to 27, 2025, under the artistic direction of Stefania Bianchi for the Associazione Culturale Seven. The central theme, "Stories of Courage", guided a selection of films and documentaries focused on figures and events marked by individual choices in the face of the violence of history.

Each evening, before the short and feature film screenings at 9:00 PM, materials from the Istituto Luce Historical Archive were presented, selected for the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II—a milestone that gave the edition a particular commemorative weight in a territory marked by the Anzio-Nettuno landings.

As per tradition, the festival alternated screenings with book presentations organized with major Italian publishers, maintaining free admission for all evenings until capacity was reached.
