Aurora Film Festival

AURORA Film Festival is moving towards its third edition, aiming to continuing in its support to truly independent cinema and introducing it to new, non-technical public. After the second edition of the main Festival in Summer 2022. Aurora for us mean new beginning, starting from scratch, leaving behind the old and the known for a fresh start. That is how we see art of filmmaking, regardless of budget. We are inviting creators of underground, under-known, rough movies. Low Budget, analog format, short, long, they must tell us about an imaginative story, a fantastic scenario, a fresh and unseen way to see the world. THE LOCATION: San Potito Sannitico has a long lasting love for the moving image, hosting creators in many occasions, being itself the stage for short and long independent movies. Ex Cinema ARENA AURORA is an open air local cinema set up in the late '50 by Mr. Antonio Iannito, closed permanently in '76 a re-opend occasionally for special event like AURORA FF. We are running the way organizing a serie of side events called AURORA OFF where sometime unselected and selected movies find a second chance to be screened in a program that has different theme or focus. Disposing alternatively of different locations in the village and ouside, we fit each venue differently to the occasion and the general content of the side AURORA OFF. Directors are going to be notified with reasonable advance of the possibility of screening their movies in side events thoughout the year even if they were not in the selection of the main summer festival. We will watch every submission. Films will carefully be selected upon our expectation, but we are sure all entries will be seriously good.
