About Hi Langhe Cinema Rodello

In Rodello, a small village in the Alta Langa area of the Cuneo province, the Hi Langhe collective brings world-class cinema to the evocative theatre housed within the former Battuti church. The festival features four free-admission screening evenings, partially dedicated to the value of social inclusion. It is an opportunity to gather around films that inspire and provoke thought, within a community setting fostered by local youth, associations, and the parish.

Auteur cinema arrives in the Alta Langa

In the heart of Rodello, a charming town in the Alta Langa area of the province of Cuneo, Piedmont, the Hi Langhe collective transforms the theatre inside the former Battuti church into a small village cinema. The Film Festival offers a series of evenings dedicated to great cinema, with a special focus on the themes of social inclusion and community values.

A grassroots project

Hi Langhe is a collective born from the collaboration between the parish of Rodello, the Compagnia di San Paolo, and the Fondazione CRC. It brings together local youth, the Be Street and Accipicchia associations, and the Santi Lorenzo e Teobaldo foundation, with the goal of creating social opportunities within the community. The screening series is produced in collaboration with the Municipality and the Pro Loco of Rodello.

Films that speak to us

The selection favours titles that combine quality with reflection. The 2025 edition featured films such as Little Miss Sunshine, the comedy about an unconventional family on a road trip; Si può fare, dedicated to the theme of social reintegration; and Un mondo a parte, the story of a teacher seeking a fresh start in a mountain village. The 2026 festival opened with C'è ancora domani, the acclaimed film directed by and starring Paola Cortellesi.

A community evening

More than just a screening, each event is a meeting point for the residents of Rodello and surrounding towns. Admission is free until all seats are taken, confirming the popular and inclusive nature of the project. Evenings usually start at 8:30 PM in the intimate and evocative setting of the ancient Battuti church.

Why attend

  • Quality cinema just a stone's throw from Alba and the UNESCO-listed hills of the Langhe.
  • Free admission and a friendly, family atmosphere.
  • A cultural programme that promotes inclusion and social cohesion.
  • The chance to discover an authentic village in the Alta Langa.
