The 17th edition of the SiciliAmbiente Film Festival will be held in San Vito Lo Capo from 14 to 19 July 2025. A well-established event that combines cinema, culture and environmental commitment. This year too, the program is packed with content, including new features, international collaborations and thematic sections.

Among the main new features, a new section dedicated to Natural Sciences and the sea , the result of collaboration with several European universities. Alongside this, a special section focused on the territory is planned, with daily projections that will offer an in-depth look at the seabed of Trapani.

The festival will be inaugurated on July 14 with a concert by Davide Shorty , followed by the screening of the documentary “Human Lights” , produced by Blob – Rai3 , which recounts fifty years of activity by Amnesty International Italy in the defense of human rights.

The closing, on July 19, is entrusted to the screening of “Il prezzo che paghiamo” , a documentary produced by Greenpeace Italia and ReCommon , which addresses the responsibilities of the fossil fuel industry in the climate crisis. Following, a panel dedicated to the theme of eco-anxiety, in collaboration with Greenpeace.

During the festival there will be other cultural events, such as book presentations, debates, concerts and a photography exhibition by Nino Pellerito entitled “Natura Ambiente” . Also planned are literary aperitifs promoted by various sponsors and moments of meeting with the authors.

The heart of the festival remains the official competition, divided into four sections: feature films, documentaries, short films and animations . In addition to the screenings, there will be meetings with directors, workshops for children and teenagers, excursions and experiential activities aimed at both residents and visitors.

The SiciliAmbiente Film Festival is promoted by the Municipality of San Vito Lo Capo, by Demetra Produzioni and by the cultural association Cantiere 7, with the support of the Sicilia Film Commission. Collaborations with organizations such as Greenpeace Italia, Amnesty International, AAMOD and TTpixel are confirmed for this edition, which assign special prizes to the most significant works. For book presentations, the partnership with Navarra Editore is renewed.
