2023 EDITION

The seventh edition took place in the autumn of 2023 both online (from September 30th to October16th) and in person (from November 1st to 14th) in the village of Contigliano, in the province of Rieti, elected “Italy’s most cinematic village” during the “Borghi sul set 2023” festival, thanks to the architecture of its numerous alleys with large stone arches capable of creating an evocative atmosphere.

“META” was the keyword of this edition, with all its kaleidoscope of meanings. Meta as changeand transformation, bringing with it the idea of metamorphosis, both for living beings and objects, reinventing themselves in new and surprising forms. Meta as a goal, a milestone to achieve, becoming the driving force of the project for all participants, but also an inspiring guide in the journey towards success. The foray into the metaverse, finally, an extraordinarily relevant concept in the present, directed the project towards the future, questioning new technologies and exploringthe possibilities of discovering new forms of artistic expression that reflect life and emotions in novel and fascinating ways.
