The Valsusa Filmfest, now in its 29th edition, opens its doors on Friday, March 28, kicking off a rich calendar of events that will cross the Susa Valley until June 5. The festival, always dedicated to historical memory, the environment, the mountains and social inclusion, this year is inspired by the message of peace and social justice of the Argentine singer and activist Mercedes Sosa.
On Friday, March 28 - Condove, Cinema at 09:00 pm
The opening night will begin with the screening of the docufilm "La Valanga Azzurra" by Giovanni Veronesi, dedicated to the legendary Italian Alpine skiing team of the Seventies. The special guest of the evening will be Piero Gros, winner of the overall World Cup and the giant slalom World Cup in 1974 and Olympic and world champion in the special slalom in Innsbruck 1976, as well as a central figure of that extraordinary sporting season.
Also present during the evening will be Adolfo Lorenzi and Elena Rosa Cardinale, parents of Matilde Lorenzi, the young skier from Piedmont who tragically passed away in October 2024 at just 19 years old during a training session. The parents will present to the public the Matilde Lorenzi Foundation, created to honor the memory of their daughter and to promote safety on the ski slopes, both outdoors and indoors, with training, information and research activities.
On Saturday, March 29 - San Giorio di Susa
On Saturday, an appointment is scheduled with Enrico Camanni, writer, journalist and mountaineer among the most authoritative interpreters of mountain culture.
As part of the Valsusa Liberfest, the literary section of the festival, at 5:30 pm at the Biblioteca Comunale di San Giorio, Camanni will present his latest novel “La guerra di Joseph”, a story of friendship and courage set on the Dolomite front of the First World War, with the Aosta Valley mountain guide Joseph Gaspard and the Florentine count Ugo Ottolenghi di Vallepiana as protagonists.
