Here's our new DOC DAY trailer for our upcoming edition #4!
As in the past three editions, we'll take the time to watch, look closer, and reflect on documentary cinema together at Filmclub Capitol

Spread the word and love among your people, film enthusiasts, or anyone you think could use this — a chance to slow down, let themselves be taken in, and reflect.

It's 6 films again, with powerful stories, images and sound, one film a month, from October 2026 to March 2027. For each event, we collaborate with distinctive partners we couldn't be happier about!

We are very happy to announce the Italian premiere of our member Veronika Kaserer's film SIMON MESSNER – Aus dem Schatten in Bolzano Filmclub Capitol this week, on September 17!

Kuddos also to our other members involved, including Daniel Mazza as DoP and Matilde Ramini as Sound Recordist.

Nr.74 Senza Nome, the short film produced by our members from Helios Sustainable Films, is heading to Florence tomorrow for the ADCF . On September 10, the film will be screened at 22:30 at Teatro dell’Affratellamento Firenze.

This short road movie by Davide Grotta, filmed in a documentaristic style and aesthetic, blurs the line between reality and poetic imagination. As Mane journeys across Italy’s contrasting landscapes, his steps echo the many who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean in search of refuge. The film calls attention to the over 30,000 lives lost in these crossings over the last 15 years, most buried in anonymity.
Through Mane’s odyssey, the film becomes an act of collective remembrance, exploring the weight of loss, the search for identity, and the unresolved grief that ties the living to the dead. The nameless cemetery by the sea stands as a poignant symbol, where giving a name becomes an act of healing and acknowledgment for all who have been forgotten.

Workshop #1
Communication. Leadership. Networking.

How do I want to present myself? How do I set boundaries? How do I take responsibility – regardless of role or hierarchy? And how can we consciously develop the existing network further?

The workshop is aimed at women* working in the audiovisual sector. The starting point is personal experiences, questions and challenges from everyday professional life. Short inputs alternate with reflection, practical exercises and exchange.

The focus is on communication, leadership and collaboration. The aim is to become more aware of one’s own role, expand one’s personal scope for action and learn from one another.

Our coach:
Micki Gruber is a systemic coach, organisational development consultant and author. For many years, she has supported individuals, teams and organisations through processes of change. Her work focuses on communication, leadership and the conscious shaping of professional relationships. She is the author of the book Il Marchio IO, which explores personal branding and authentic presence in a professional context.

Opening our September Showcase with a World Premiere at La Biennale di Venezia is really a joy. EKLIPSE, co-produced by our members at Albolina Film GmbH , premieres this Saturday on the Lido!

Directed by Manuel Wetscher, the film is competing in the Orizzonti section and follows two childhood friends, Tomy and Chris, one summer in 1999 — a story of silence, fear, and the quiet weight of what families choose not to say. It's a story brought to the world stage through a co-production between Austria's Eutopiafilm and Albolina Film here in South Tyrol.

And the journey doesn't stop at the Lido: EKLIPSE will cross the Atlantic for its North American Premiere at TIFF on September 11.

We couldn't be prouder to see our members' work stand among this year's selection at one of the world's most prestigious festivals — and then travel on to Toronto too. In bocca al lupo to the whole cast and crew, especially also to our members Debora Nischler (co-producer) and Beniamino Casagrande (Grip).

While the 32nd edition of the Film Festival della Lessinia is getting closer, we're happy to share that another one of our members' films is travelling to Bosco Chiesanuova!

The Festival will present 83 films from 43 countries, including 27 Italian premieres — among them IL GRECO DI CALABRIA – la lingua che lotta per sopravvivere al tempo, a documentary produced by our members at Mediaart Production Coop and edited by our member Martine De Biasi.

Congratulations to the whole team!

A language that still survives, clinging to the mountains much like the remote villages where it is still spoken, in the mountains of Calabria. The Calabrian-Greek dialect (known as Grecanic) dates back to the eighth century and represents one of the last living legacies of Magna Graecia, the strip of southern Italy colonized by the ancient Greeks. Today, approximately 300 people still speak this ancient language. They live in the southern part of the province of Reggio Calabria, known as Bovesìa, in Gallicianò, Bova, Bova Marina, Pentedattilo, and Roghudi. It is here that this language has endured for almost 3000 years. But the villages are emptying, the houses are abandoned, and the alleys are silent, and only a distant echo of this dialect remains. The director, through interviews and a thorough documentary investigation, follows the trail of one of the oldest living languages in Europe and of the people who preserve it and fight to save it from extinction, that is not necessarily inevitable.
