LIGHTS ON

Social World Film Festival (La Mostra Internazionale del Cinema Sociale) has announced the complete lineup for 2022 festival, which takes place in Vico Equense (Sorrento Coast, Italy) from July 3-10.

Social World Film Festival is the most emotional festival in the world with events, movies, previews, innovative activities, jury of young people and professionals, workshops, competitions, presentations and thousands of visitors.

The Social World Film Festival, or La Mostra Internazionale del Cinema Sociale, was born in 2009 from the idea of the director and producer Giuseppe Alessio Nuzzo to create a cinematographic event, the first in the world, entirely dedicated to cinema as a vehicle for social messages ; that idea, that dream has now become the international social cinema exhibition.

Avvenire, ripartenza, domani” (“Future. Prospect, restart, tomorrow”) is the chosen theme for the 2022 Social World Film Festival (La Mostra Internazionale del Cinema Sociale).
