Elba Film Festival

Our film festival is located on the Elba Island, a magnificent Island in the Tuscan Arcipelago. With the Elba Film Festival we wanted to create a space for creatives from all over the world to converge, connect and showcase one another's work. Elba is lapped by pristine turquoise waters which are perfect to swim in September, when our festival takes place. Asides from visiting different venues, meeting other likeminded creatives and watching the festival films, the island has plenty to offer: Swimming, hiking trails, kayaking and trekking, delicious fresh fish at many of the local restaurants right along the shore, a visit of Napoleon's residency in Porto Ferraio, even a live reenactment of some of the most important scenes of his life that takes place every week in the small mountain town of Poggio. Not everyone knows that Elba is connected to Napoleon, where he was exiled and lived for about 300 days. The Festival will take place at the Cinema Metropolis in Marciana Marina and at the Art Hotel Gabbiano Azzurro. There will be a networking event after each screening and an Award Ceremony at the end of the Festival. During the four days that the festival takes place, you will be given the opportunity to enjoy the island during one of its best times of the year. The Elba Film Festival staff will do all it can to make you feel at home and enjoy the thrill that it is to watch your film on a big screen!
