Discover «Waves from the Future», the official theme for the 79th Salerno International Film Festival. Submit your film and be part of one of the most historic festivals in the whole world!
The Salerno International Film Festival re-launches with a powerful vision and a question that challenges the present: what waves from the future are already shaping our tomorrow?
«Waves from the Future» is the theme for our 79th edition. It’s not a slogan, but a statement of intent. An invitation to tune into the invisible frequencies that foreshadow change, crisis, and revolution. The future is not a distant land, but a living matter that cinema has the power to mold, frame by frame.
Great cinema has always captured society’s hopes, fears, and utopias. Today, this calling is more necessary than ever.
With «Waves from the Future», we are challenging filmmakers from all over the world. We are seeking works that are not afraid to gaze into the abyss of change, that can capture the faint signals of the present and forge them into powerful narratives. Whether they are luminous utopias, unsettling dystopias, or that stark realism that already feels like science fiction – we want your gaze, your voice, your personal wave from the future.
Submissions for the 79th Salerno International Film Festival are officially open. We want your stories, your critical perspectives, your bold visions. The future is written today. And cinema is its primary language.
