As part of its Third Mission, the Scuola Normale Superiore has launched a collaboration with the Festival dei Popoli, involving the Political and Social Sciences class in organising debates with the public at the end of four selected screenings. The initiative aims to promote a critical and informed debate on relevant issues, enriched by the contribution of scholars and scholars.

Friday 8 November, 6 p.m. at the French Institute Florence, Christine Angot, director of the film A Family, in international competition, will dialogue with Isabella Mancini, spokesperson of the Casa delle Donne Florence and president of Nosotras Onlus, an intercultural association of native and migrant women.

The Let the Music Play section is back at the Festival dei Popoli: a journey through the music of yesterday, soundtrack of a changing world, curated by journalist and film critic Emanuele Sacchi.

The Festival dei Popoli takes part in the third edition of the Oxfam Festival with the film LIMITS OF EUROPE by Apolena Rychlíková, on Sunday 26 October at 8pm at the Cinema la Compagnia.

An explorer from the future on the streets of Florence is the protagonist of the poster for the 65th Festival dei Popoli. The image, created with the aid of generative artificial intelligence software, is inspired by the great themes of the moment: between global fears and new local solutions, the word goes back to the cinema.
