November 2025: A New Chapter for the Salento International Film Festival
The 22nd edition of the Salento International Film Festival marks a fresh start by moving, for the first time, to November. Autumn, with its warm and enveloping colors, provides the perfect backdrop for an event that this year aims to inspire profound change. The festival opens its doors to schools, transforming students into active participants: not just spectators, but also engaged contributors in an innovative fusion of cinema and education.
Established as one of the leading events for international independent cinema, SIFF continues its journey around the world with its unique itinerant format, bringing captivating stories and diverse perspectives to every corner of the globe. This global approach is intertwined with Cultural Diplomacy, an initiative launched in 2023, which harnesses the power of cinema to break down cultural barriers and foster dialogue among people.
Get ready to dive into a festival that is not just about entertainment but a bridge between cultures and generations. This November, SIFF invites you to discover cinema as a tool for knowledge, growth, and connection.
