Established in 2002, the festival fosters dialogue between Mediterranean cinema, visual arts, music, literature, theater, and design, with a strong focus on sustainability, social justice, and cultural innovation. Each edition is built around a curatorial theme that shapes the program of films, live performances, exhibitions, site-specific installations, talks, and workshops. Iconic venues such as the Horcynus Orca Park become dynamic spaces for artistic exploration and public engagement, involving artists, thinkers, students, and citizens in a collective journey of reflection and transformation. The festival stands out for its interdisciplinary approach and its deep connection with Mediterranean cultures, supporting original productions and artistic processes that transcend disciplinary and geographic boundaries. The Horcynus Festival offers a space for creative exchange and cultural renewal, blending beauty, critical thinking, and civic commitment.
