The festival online: the masterclass with Nicolas Philibert and the festival catalogue
The Cross-Border Film Festival – A Tribute to Vision, which wove together cinematic stories this October, has left behind a treasure trove of memories and artistic inspiration. We are delighted to present two special highlights that keep the festival’s spirit alive.
Below, you can watch the recording of the masterclass by Nicolas Philibert, this year’s recipient of the Darko Bratina Award, now enriched with English subtitles. It is enriched with English subtitles. At the Palazzo del Cinema-Hiša Filma in Gorizia, he led a masterclass where, in dialogue with Francesco Martinotti, president of the Italian National Association of Film Authors (ANAC), he shared his thoughts, artistic dilemmas, and creative processes. Following the masterclass, Kinoatelje proudly presented him with the prestigious Darko Bratina Award, honouring his remarkable cinematic vision.
The festival is a call to experience and reflect. Another key festival legacy is the digital festival catalogue, created post festum as a reflection of everything we have witnessed and experienced. Designed by Vida Rucli, as per tradition, this year’s edition shines in a refreshed format, inspired by the spirit of European Capital of Culture GO! 2025. With a bold new visual approach, it offers an in-depth look into the festival’s events, exceptional film stories, and the creators behind them.
This year, the festival will embrace us once again from October 7th to 12th. Welcome to the world of cinematic visions!
