First Hermetic International Film Festival (FHIFF)

The Esoteric and Occult Film Festival in Italy First Hermetic International Film Festival - A truly unique film festival overtly dedicated to the domain of Hermetica: The Unorthodoxy underlying the mainstream intellectual history, the neglected Heterodoxy rooted in our cultural legacy, the eternal search for understanding the Inexplicable, the everlasting fascination for the Supramundane, the timeless allure of the Supernatural. The quest for the meaning of life and its destiny has led to emerge a sort of Otherness in culture, which despite being systematically silenced, nevertheless has subterraneously forged the pivot of every civilization and even though vehemently opposed by dominant elites for being high potentially befriending and liberating of mind or kept hidden by the adepts bona or mala fide for the time being and also later on for quite the same reasons, succeeded of transmuting itself in a Tradition passed down by a chain of initiates. Since times of yore, up till the present. Because today, this vast system of concealed knowledge, this ancient wisdom - yet capable of being profoundly innovative -, once hermetically sealed has been opened up for the sake of anybody, who wants to see behind the curtains of visible reality. The occult sciences - notably Alchemy, Astrology, Natural Magic - have been the prelude of ensuing scientific discoveries, the very base of them.
