Hospitality as a filmic space. 

The Mediterranean culture has a long-standing tradition of hospitality that dates back to ancient times. Myths tell us the Gods gifted the trade of reciprocal host and guest, give and take, to bring people together through good intentions on both sides, regardless of social class, race, and religion. In today's world, the importance of hospitality cannot be overstated. A two-way street of generosity and reciprocity creates a ripple effect of sharing, exchange, support and inclusion. In continuing to forge alliances and meaningful connections among people of other places and cultural backgrounds, perhaps this tradition is as relevant as ever today and signposts the importance of our shared need to embrace otherness.

Laterale Film Festival is an international non competitive Festival of cinematic art organized by Associazione Culturale Laterale.

The aim of the project is to enhance the most innovative aspects of audio-visual languages of the contemporary scene and to reduce the distance between artistic research and public involvement. Particular attention will be paid to young and independent filmmakers and to self-made no-budget works, as result of individual search.

World Cinema Carnival is fostering a vibrant and diverse community of filmmakers, producers, animators, video artists and researchers who experiment and counter the medium and language of cinema.
