On The Walls Documentary Film Festival August 2025

Join us at Castello di Potentino for the 5th edition of On The Walls Documentary Festival – 2025.

A long weekend of documentaries, dialogue, and a live concert under the stars, with screenings in the chapel by day and on the medieval castle walls by night. This year’s theme is Communication. 

The festival brings global stories to rural places where cinemas are scarce and access to culture is limited.

Directors, producers, and guests from around the world will take part in Q&As, both in-person and online, dining together each evening—fostering connection and conversation.

A 5-night stay includes full lodging and board (wine sold separately at a discounted rate).

Festival entry is free to ensure access for the local community.

This event is sponsored by Friends of Potentino and fully supports the Friends of Potentino charity. For more information, see here.
