Cinema in Verticale is a festival dedicated to cinema, culture and mountain sports, established in 1999 as a preview of the Valsusa Filmfest, a historic community film and cultural festival that will reach its 30th edition in 2026.
The festival was created with the aim of promoting the mountains and related topics, showcasing their landscapes, sports, cultures and communities. Over the years, it has become a highly anticipated and recognised event, attracting a large and enthusiastic audience and offering significant opportunities for socialising and cultural sharing.
There are nine events in six municipalities - Almese, Caprie, Condove, Giaveno, Rivoli and San Giorio di Susa - with a programme covering classic and contemporary mountaineering, travel and exploration, the protection of the alpine landscape, highland communities and the many forms of relationship between man and the mountains.
The evenings will feature mountaineers, filmmakers, historians, journalists, enthusiasts, experts and direct witnesses to the stories told on screen.
