The story

Rome Film Fest in Rome

Rome's autumn film festival launched in 2006 at Renzo Piano's Auditorium Parco della Musica, opening with a red carpet that included Nicole Kidman and Harrison Ford. Renamed Festa del Cinema di Roma in 2015 and run by the Fondazione Cinema per Roma, it holds FIAPF-recognized competitive status distinct from Venice's higher international prestige tier.

Martin Scorsese's The Departed had its European premiere at an Auditorium built only a few years earlier when Rome launched its own film festival in 2006.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival is built around the Auditorium Parco della Musica's cluster of concert halls, giving it a compact walkable footprint rather than venues scattered across a city, and it opens many screenings to the general public rather than restricting them to accredited industry and press

02

The mystery stays covered

Its formal FIAPF-recognized competitive status places it in the same accreditation category as larger festivals even though its actual prestige and market weight sit below Venice within Italy's own festival hierarchy, a distinction organizers and critics both acknowledge openly
