It will take place in Bergamo (Lombardia – Italy) from the 27th to the 31th January of 2009.
The idea of the Festival comes out from the awarness that the Orobic Alps and Lombardia represent a wonderful and prolific natural place from the economic and cultural point of view.

This last section is open to documentaries on Mountain’s environment and culture, those showing the traditions of the people living in mountain areas.
It’s for this last section of the competition that we ask for your availability to cooperate with us, offering your support and inscribing movies produced in your country.
