BAIMA - Documentary Premiere
When "dance is life," everything moves in harmony with the universe. Rodrigo Baima, raised in a favela, finds in dance a way to escape violence and creates an ecological performance inspired by Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian roots. For Luana, Wesley, Johnatan, and Rian, who come from families marked by extreme violence, joining the show is their only "way out of hell." Baima follows the journey from an idea born in the Amazon to selections and rehearsals, leading to a European tour that takes 25 young dancers from Cannes to a meeting with Pope Francis, before returning to the favela with dreams turned into reality.
WINE & CHEESE - Networking
Enjoy local wine and cheese from the Dolomites region of Italy, while immersing into a special art gallery.
OPEN DOORS - Art Exhibition
The Open Doors photography exhibition, born from the vision of Emotions to Generate Change by Lia and Marianna Beltrami and Ali Aksu, in collaboration with the Dicastery for Communication of the Holy See, is a journey through suspended moments—captured from diverse perspectives, yet woven together by a single truth: when doors open, reality is illuminated with new possibilities.
Twenty-five images unveil the mystery and beauty of what unfolds when access is free, when thresholds are not barriers but bridges. It is the path of the pilgrim of hope, passing through doors flung wide open to humanity and eternity—doors that welcome, reveal, and transform.
Each photograph is a testament to authenticity, imbued with the gaze and intelligence of nine passionate artists: Nese Ari, Asaf Ud Daula, Raffaele Merler, Pierluigi Meduri, Gustavo Ten Hoever , Marianna Beltrami, Chiara Caprettini, Rodrigo Baima, Simone Risoluti. Through their sensitive eyes, we embark on a journey across distant worlds—from Turkey to Wales, from Italy to Bangladesh, from India to Morocco, reaching Benin, Brazil, the Vatican, and the eternal peaks of the Dolomites. The exhibition supports are crafted by the Autonomous Province of Trento, designed by Sabrina Camin and Claudio Marconi, using reclaimed wood from the storms that swept through the Dolomites.
Yet, the emotions captured in these frames do not remain still. They move, take root, and become seeds of transformation. Some of the faces within these images are not mere subjects but witnesses and protagonists of real change. Like Rodrigo and his group of young visionaries, who in the favela of Marcos Moura, Brazil, are reshaping the future through a path of ecological and social renewal.
Pope Francis, through the power of his life and teachings, opens the doors of hearts and invites us to cross them without fear. Not with empty words, but with concrete actions. Not with silent images, but with visions powerful enough to stir the soul.
The exhibition opened in the Vatican on March 25, 2025, and was then presented in various dioceses around the world, in Verona at La Gran Guardia Palace and in Trento's Piazza del Duomo in October.
