From 30 October to 1 November 2025, the Magara Film Festival (MFF) will be held at the Gambaro Theatre, in the heart of the historic center of San Fili, as a cinematic showcase of the "Le Notti delle Magare - Festival of Popular Culture" event. Dedicated to independent cinema, the festival explores the myth of Magara, a mysterious figure of Calabrian folklore, guardian of ancient esoteric knowledge. Like the Janare Campania, the Piedmontese Masche and the Strie of Northern Italy, the Magara embodies the link between myth and reality, inspiring stories of magic, superstition and arcane charm. Open to emerging and established filmmakers, the MFF fosters cultural exchange between generations, celebrating the power of visual storytelling and the magic of timeless stories.
