Tropheum Regale International Film Festival is an annual film festival and it gets its name from the city of Trofarello in which it is based. It is said that Trofarello in Celtic means “trophy”, probably in honour of a warrior of some success.

Each three months our jury of professionals will make a private viewing to decide the winners of each category. The judgment is based on the artistic merit, creative contribution and technical level of each entry. The results will be published on our website and on our social media profiles.

In a historical moment in which the fear of different seems to prevail and the values of equality and social justice are neglected for the benefit of a widespread selfishness, it seems important to us to experiment new initiative to promote the positive values that the Associazione Orchestra Multietnica di Arezzo tried to convey in these years using the universal language of the music. Solidarity, hospitality, integration, civil commitment, those are the values we want to pass on through cinema and Audiovision’s language, in an active citizenship experience above all young people, to give our contribution to a wide cultural sensibility growth, with a view to a supportive, multicultural and cohesive society.
Officine social movie: 6nd cinema and Audiovision’s festival dedicated to social issues and civil commitment and to dissemination of content that promoted solidarity, hospitality, social inclusion, cultural diversity and rights values.
Officine social movie is born for an attempt to create new artistic context and new formulas to convey, through cinema and audiovision’s versatility, the idea of cultural and social commitment above expressed. An open festival to short films presented by young emergent and independent filmmakers and videomakers, a showcase dedicated to projection of titles (movie, docu-movie, animation…) on call through film distribution channels also alternative. Projections that will be enriched by guest’s presence (filmmakers, authors, screenwriters, actors) with whose the audience will have the opportunity to confront at the end of projection.
We want to report that Officine Social Movie is born with the intention to pose the same caution both on the final result, the festival that will take place at Arezzo from 3th to 8th june 2025, and on the project creation and implementation process. One of the targets is in fact the involvement of a group of young people who can share an active citizenship, giving space to their creativity.
To arrive to the festival made up by the step of design, analysis, planning and management, communication and critical vision of short films in the competition, will be part of the project itself, with the same importance of the festival days.
The group will be composed by some young people of the promoter association with around twenty people of the students from the Multimedia, cinema and graphic design sections of Liceo Artistico “Piero della Francesca di Arezzo” that, flanked by expert and operation, will draw the outlines of the festival, will draw up the national competition announcement, will be an integral part in the selection of short films in competition and will be part of the jury who will designate it the winners.
The students, in addition of being part of the group of the design team, will be involved in the creation of an own short film too, to be presented out of competition, as well as for the project and the festival’s video-photographic documentation.
The Officine Social Movie project has as leader the Association “Orchestra Multietnica di Arezzo” (OMA), in collaboration with Officine della Cultura, the Liceo Artistico Coreutico Scientifico Internazionale “Piero della Francesca”, annex to Convitto Nazionale “Vittorio Emanuele II” of Arezzo and Poti Pictures, with the support of Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze and Ottopermille chiesa Valdese, contribution Prodigio Divino and Associazione Autismo Arezzo.

Following the success of the first edition, we are organizing the Second Edition of the Majadahonda International Social Film Festival (MISFE'25). We firmly believe that cinema is a tool for social transformation and that by promoting the dissemination of critical and high-quality films, we can educate and raise awareness within the community about important social issues.
MISFE'25 not only promises to be a showcase for cinematic talent but also addresses and highlights social issues of interest, as films can serve as educational tools and catalysts for dialogue on relevant topics.
We aim to contribute to the development of Majadahonda and enrich its cultural offerings, as the diversity of films presented at the festival can enhance the community’s cultural life by exposing residents to various stories, perspectives, and artistic expressions.
We believe that cinema holds a unique power to touch our emotions and foster empathy. Therefore, celebrating this festival will give us the opportunity to connect more deeply with stories that reflect the diversity of our experiences and inspire us to understand and appreciate the richness of the human condition.
Through the short films participating in this second edition, we will explore and celebrate diversity in all its forms: cultural, social, racial, and more. By highlighting diverse narratives, the festival will promote inclusion and mutual understanding, building bridges between communities.
The selected films will not only entertain but also inspire. Through stories of resilience, activism, and positive change, the festival will serve as a platform for sharing ideas.
For this Second Edition of MISFE, we are launching a parallel School Film section. In the First Edition, the “Sonsoles San Román” Award for Best School Short Film was presented. This year, we seek to give this category its own identity by increasing the visibility and participation of works created in primary, secondary, and high schools, as well as vocational and specialized educational centers.
