The Giornate del Cinema di Monte San Savino opens this year with an important collaboration with the Golden Apricot International Film Festival, establishing a cultural partnership between Monte San Savino and this prestigious annual Armenian event.

The Honorary President of the festival is Harutyun Khachatryan, who will inaugurate the opening ceremony. We are also proud to present a selection of his films within the programme, celebrating his outstanding contribution to international cinema.

THE PLACE

The workshop will take place in the medieval town of Monte San Savino, a charming and picturesque location ideal for an immersive experience. Surrounded by its rich history and serene landscapes, the town offers the perfect setting for deep personal reflection, collaboration with fellow participants, and the discovery of hidden places and local people that inspire creativity.
