Castiellë
Soulplace Film Festival

A festival to rediscover
an historic medieval village in Molise

EVENT

Castiellë Soulplace Film Festival is an international competition with live screenings open to filmmakers from all over the world. It takes place in the small town of Castelpetroso (Molise, Italy) and its purpose is to help independent cinematography talents and filmmakers to improve their career.

We accept films of all genres and also shorts. Award-winning films will be screened in public before the award ceremony.

PLACE

The medieval village was built around Norman times. Nothing remains of the old castle, except parts of shoal masonry around the medieval village. The parish church was that of San Martino, which underwent Baroque influences in the seventeenth century. The moments of aggregation in the various hamlets are many and preserve the spirit of the ancient local festivals, also of peasant heritage.
The event is patronaged by the Municipality of Castelpetroso.
