Montura and the Trento Film Festival share far more than a traditional relationship between sponsor and cultural institution. For over fifteen years, we have walked side by side on a journey that weaves together culture, exploration, and social commitment.

Both born in the shadow of the mountains - yet always looking beyond them - we have turned our collaboration into a cultural project deeply rooted in the local territory while speaking to a global audience.

Over time, this alliance has taken shape through films, publications, and initiatives that portray high-altitude landscapes as places of life, memory, and resilience.

Through a shared spirit of research and a commitment to supporting artistic and humanitarian paths, we continue to strengthen a common vision: the mountain not merely as a destination, but as a privileged point of view from which to understand and engage with the present.

During this edition, Montura support and presents several films that offer powerful and authentic stories connected to the mountains, their people, and their silences. Through personal explorations and meaningful testimonies, these works stand out for their ability to capture the spirit of the landscapes and the individuals who inhabit them:

Once again this year, we invite you to visit the Montura Store Stand in Piazza Duomo, a space shaped around the campaign “No Crowds, Just Memories.” More than a stand, it is an invitation to slow down, to listen, and to rediscover a more intimate and conscious way of experiencing the mountains.

In an age driven by speed, visibility, and performance, Montura chooses to give space to what often remains unseen: silence, respect, and inner courage. The stand becomes a place for reflection - a quiet voice against the noise - where the mountains are not a stage to be consumed, but a presence that asks for time, care, and awareness.

In our stand you can explore the latest publications by Montura Editing, the echo chamber of our values for over twenty years. Through books, stories, and visual narratives, Montura Editing shares projects that speak of mountains, cultures, and the communities that call these places home. An editorial commitment rooted in the belief that culture should be accessible to all, and a concrete expression of Montura’s long-standing social and cultural engagement worldwide.

We invite you to browse our books, learn more about our artistic and social initiatives, and discover how culture can help us build a more respectful relationship with the environment - and with ourselves.

Follow us on our social channels to find out when you can meet the Festival’s protagonists at the Montura stand.

A unique opportunity to connect with:
Alessandro Beber, Matteo Righetto, Hervé Barmasse, Maurizio Zanolla “Manolo”, David Bellatalla, Valeria Margherita Mosca, Alessandro de Bertolini, Fausto De Stefani, Giuseppe Cederna, and Simone Salvagnin
