The 2025-2026 film review further explores the concept of border, approached from many different perspectives. As per the previous edition, we will explore the geographical border, the political border, the social border, the subjective and lived border, the ecological border, the scientific and ethical border – to mention a few.

Through the movies we propose, as well as the conversations that will follow after each screening, we will explore what do these borders mark and which others they create, what consequences they have (and for whom) as well as what possibilities of encounters they might enable, depending on how they are practiced. Through these moments, we wish to open a space to reflect on the deeply troubling times we live in.

Screening will take place in the evenings, in the Auditorium (Club House, Via Esperia 329, 21027, Ispra) and all movies will be, in principle, screened in their original language, with subtitles in either EN or ITA.

After the movie, we plan to dedicate some time to an open conversation. Entrance to all events is free.
