Festival overview

About Colli Albani Film Festival

Physical film festival in roma, Italy with submission categories including SHORT FILM - Cortometraggi and Feature film - lungometraggi.

The Colli Albani or Castelli Romani area has been the setting for numerous national and international films, starting with "Inferno" in 1911, considered the first Italian feature film. To then remember "The Leopard" by Visconti, "Nights of Cabiria" by Fellini, " quel pasticciaccio brutto di Via Merulana " by Gadda, many of Totò's films, up to "the stolen children" by Amelio, " il marchese del Grillo” by Monicelli, “il Vigile” by Zampa and many others until the recent “all you need is crime” by Giallini.

The Colli Albani Film Festival was therefore born from the need to honor this territory linked to cinema in the best possible way, giving space to Italian and foreign authors to present their works, creating concrete opportunities for professionals in the cine-audiovisual world. Furthermore, it will be an opportunity for the local population to get closer to cinema to see and vote for the works selected at the festival.

LOCATION Grottaferrata ALFELLINI CINEMA Recently reopened and completely renovated thanks to the commitment of Davide Fontana in collaboration with the Municipality of Grottaferrata and with the support of Manuele Ilari and the Madison circuit.
