A contemporary film festival: six days of films, filmmakers and talks.
And it all starts with you.

Cinema in flux,
seen up close.

Linea d’Ombra is a vibrant space where cinema meets the other arts, the younger generations and the city.

The festival brings international productions to Salerno, with a particular focus on Europe; it provides a platform for those just beginning to tell stories through images; and it works with the local community to create opportunities for training, discussion and discovery.

Thirty-one years
to look back on.

A story
in motion

Since 1996, the Linea d’Ombra Festival has been creating a space for exploration in Salerno, dedicated to cinema and the audiovisual arts, encompassing works, filmmakers, artistic languages and contemporary transformations.

The archive captures this history and makes it accessible once more: not a static repository, but a map to be explored, allowing you to rediscover past editions, films, guests, sections and traces of the journey that has brought the festival to its 31st edition.
