The Cinema a Pedal programme is conceived as a journey that moves forward in stages, from the call for films to encounters with audiences, always keeping the road open to new territories.
Free, open-air screenings in public spaces, designed for all audiences and in direct connection with the territory.
Selection of films screened during the two days of the festival.
Indoor screenings bringing together the official selection of short and feature films, creating a space for exchange between filmmakers and audiences.
Cinema a Pedal is looking for new territories to keep pedalling cinema, sustainability and community. If you would like your municipality to become part of the festival’s route, write to us and we will explore together how to make a new stage possible.
