2025 Edition

The 2025 edition of the Rieti and Sabina Film Festival concluded on November 25, 2025, with a gala evening dedicated to the awards ceremony. Once again, the competition attracted entries from all over the world in the feature film, short film, and documentary sections.

The Winners

Best Short Film: "The Heart Smiles" (Canada)
Best Feature Film: "Beyond Genocide" (Rwanda)
Best Documentary: "Palestine Lentils" (Palestine)

The selection confirmed the festival's focus on civic themes and cinematographies less represented in the commercial circuit. Founded in 2018 to revitalize the cultural life of Rieti and the Sabina region after the earthquake, the RSFF has now established itself as one of the key autumn cinematic events in Lazio.
