Cinema Massimo hosts the Third Biennial Festival of Lay Cinema.

Organised by the Consulta Torinese per la Laicità delle Istituzioni in partnership with the National Museum of Cinema, and headed by the film critic Gabriele Barrera, the Third Biennial Festival of Lay Cinema opens on Tuesday, the 16th of March in Screen Three of Cinema Massimo at 8.30 p.m. with Vittorio Moroni’s film Eva e Adamo. The film will be introduced by the film’s director and the festival’s director, Gabriele Barrera, as well as Tullio Monti, head of Consulta Torinese per la Laicità delle Istituzioni.

The festival intends to discuss the approach of lay thinking and lay ethics when faced with the individual and collective challenges and dilemmas that are part of modern life, presenting this to Turin’s public using the aesthetic language and cultural tools of cinematic art.

Ten films will be screened between March and May, films that will tackle several important themes of contemporary society, a society which is increasingly multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-religious. Admission: 4 euros.
