The Gran Paradiso Film Festival returns for its 28th edition, continuing a journey of over forty years dedicated to wildlife cinema.
The Gran Paradiso Film Festival will be held from 28 July to 10 August, with simultaneous screenings in Cogne, Introd and Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, and then covering all the municipalities of Gran Paradiso. The full and detailed programme will be announced at a press conference to be held on Monday 7 July at 11:00 a.m. in the Maria Ida Viglino room of the Regional Palace in Aosta, and will be streamed on the website www.gpff.it.
As usual, Fondation Grand Paradis welcomes applications from those interested in serving on the public jury. This year, jurors will be able to attend screenings in Cogne, Introd and Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, awarding the main prize in the International Competition – the Stambecco d’Oro, the Stambecco d’Oro Junior, the CortoNatura Award and the GPFF Online Award.
Those interested can choose which Audience Jury to enter: GPFF GOLD Jury, GPFF Jury, CortoNatura Jury, Online Jury.
Those who will be part of the GPFF GOLD Jury will have to view and vote for all 10 feature films in competition, while those enrolled in the GPFF Jury can also view and vote for just one of the films in competition. For both juries there is also a Junior category, for children and young people aged 6 to 14, which will decide the winner of the Stambecco d’Oro Junior.
The CortoNatura Jury will instead be called upon to attend the marathon of short films scheduled for the afternoon of 31 July and express their preference there.
Finally, the jurors of the GPFF Online section will be able to vote for the films viewable on the Festival’s streaming platform from 3 to 8 August and decide the winner.
To register for the Jury, simply complete and submit the registration form, available online at gpff.it/audience-jury-28-gpff/?lang=en. Alternatively, you can register by going to the nature and cultural sites managed by Fondation Grand Paradis.
GOLD jurors will receive a gift kit dedicated to them at the 28 July meeting in Cogne and Rhêmes-Notre-Dame. The first 20 registered participants will also receive the 28th GPFF Montura T-shirt. Other prizes will be awarded by drawing lots among the members of the Jury.
For the GOLD Jury, the main prize drawn will be a stay for two people in Namur, with access to the Festival International Nature Namur – a festival twinned with the Gran Paradiso Film Festival – to be held from 11 to 19 October 2025, provided by the organisers of the Belgian Festival.
