Bergamo Film Festival 2026 offers a journey through the cinema of the 1950s, with a selection of eight films made by well-known and lesser-known filmmakers, all united by their ability to bear witness in an exemplary way to what it meant – and still means today – to be an auteur. In addition, there is the 2026 distribution proposal with Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Krótki film o miłości (A Short Film about Love, 1988).
