XV Religion Today Film Festival The 15th edition of the Festival will take place from 12 to 24 October 2012 in Trento and other Italian cities.
The detailed programme will be announced below and updated regularly.

THIS YEAR'S THEME:
Conflicts. Religions and (non-)violence In order to celebrate the important anniversary of fifteen years of the Festival, we would like to draw particular attention to that message of justice and peaceful coexistence, respectful of all our differences, which Iles at the heart of our cultural and social project.
To this end we have chosen the following theme for this year's edition: Conflicts. Religions and (non-)violence. Starting from the common perception that many wars and conflicts arise from ethnic and religious identity, the Festival intends to re-interpret this by emphasizing the positive role of religions as a vehicles for peace. To this end, the history of non-violence will be presented, both in terms of theory and practice, between eastern and western religions. At the same time it will be possible to examine the complex relationship between religions and (non-) violence more closely, starting from the condemnation of every fundamentalist temptation of obstinacy and narrow-mindedness, as opposed to such essential values as respect, mutual commitment, willingness to engage in dialogue. Finally, the discussion on the theme of the year seeks to highlight how peace, justice and the promotion of human rights are inextricably bound together.
