The Mostra Internazionale del Nuovo Cinema, or Pesaro Film Festival, was founded in Pesaro in 1965 by Bruno Torri and Lino Micciché (the latter who was its director until 1982) with the collaboration of Pier Paolo Pasolini and Bernardo Bertolucci. In the years that followed Marco Müller, Adriano Aprà, Andrea Martini and Giovanni Spagnoletti served as directors. Currently, the festival is directed by Pedro Armocida.
