On the occasion of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, Trento celebrates sport through cinema with a special film festival curated by the Trento Film Festival.

Modena, and Harpo Lab, two films dedicated to the Olympics, Paralympics, and winter sports will be screened, in a program ranging from documentaries, fiction, animation, and mockumentaries, with short, medium, and feature-length films. The screenings will be enriched by meetings and Q&As with guests from the world of culture and sport, athletes, authors, and testimonials, to explore the themes of sports storytelling, inclusion, and the Olympic spirit.
