The story

Torino Film Festival in Turin

An independent and emerging-cinema festival held each November in Turin since 1982, originally named Cinema Giovani, screening across venues including Cinema Massimo, focused on first and second features, documentary and genre film rather than the gala red-carpet star system of Italy's larger, more prestigious festivals.

Torino Film Festival began in 1982 under the name Cinema Giovani, a title reflecting its founding mission of showcasing emerging directors and young cinema rather than competing with Venice for gala prestige.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Founded as Cinema Giovani, or Young Cinema, the festival has kept a discovery-first identity for over four decades, dedicating serious programming space to genre and cult cinema, including horror sidebars, alongside first features from emerging, often undistributed directors

02

The mystery stays covered

Its home venue, Cinema Massimo, is run by Turin's National Museum of Cinema inside the landmark Mole Antonelliana, linking the festival directly to a working film-history museum rather than a standalone commercial theater
