The 2017 program aims to give more space to the selection of short films with “Frutteto” (Orchard) competition and the selection for a younger audience, “Germogli” (Buds). This year for the section devoted to classics of rural cinema “Sempreverde” (Evergreen), there will be a lecture by the critic and selector of the Venice Film Festival Bruno Fornara on the masterpiece by Charles Laughton The Night of the Hunter starring Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters.
During the days of the festival, Villa Nigra will host cultural events and exhibitions.

Biennale in Venice. During the festival there will also be a zero food miles market with typical local products. On Sunday the usual rural picnic in the park of Villa Nigra is confirmed.
