The RIMA FILM FESTIVAL is a showcase of films that reveal the diverse and subjective experience of exile and migration.
While many of the cinematic and media portrayals on migration that reach us primarily focus on the negative experiences of migration, the stories being told during this festival cleverly and beautifully touch on the temporal and subjective psychological questions that exile triggers. Importantly, almost all these stories are defined by the main storyteller – by those who have experienced exile.
The 3rd edition of the Rima Film Festival will be taking place between the 12th-14th October at the Spazju Kreattiv Cinema in Valletta.
