In 2026, we mark the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi, a figure who continues to resonate across centuries, especially in times marked by conflict.

Today, his image speaks again in troubled times. Francis addressed a fractured world, choosing humility over power, silence over noise, and presence over destruction.

In this light, his image is more than just a frozen moment from the past; it invites us to pay attention to the present as it unfolds.

Conceived as a journey through cinema, The Face and the Threshold traces his presence across time through the works of Roberto Rossellini, Franco Zeffirelli, Liliana Cavani, Susanna Nicchiarelli and Enrico Guazzoni.

Saint Francis isn’t only returning to the screen, he’s inviting us for a moment of pause, observation, and reflection.
