Rome Independent Cinema Festival

UPDATE: In light of Corona-virus, we want to assure our filmmakers that we are fully committed to run our events and honor all filmmakers who have submitted to us from around the world. *** We're now accepting submissions for our 2022 edition! *** Rome Independent Cinema Festival opens its gates to international filmmakers. Italian cinema has been highly influential in film history, with countless masters of the artform serving as inspiration for independent artists. Rome still remains the heart of Italian film, with a large community of industry people and cultured cinema fans alike, which makes it the perfect setting to celebrate the diversity of independent cinema, at Rome Independent Cinema Festival. As indie cinema works slightly outside of the mainstream, its position leaves room for both experimentation and artistic growth. On the other hand it needs more help reaching the right audience, therefore it has to be recognized and celebrated for its cultural value. Our aim is to merge a cultural, inspiring program with an entertaining event, where people can have a unique experience of being artistically stimulated, while having a fun evening, meeting like-minded people in the open-air, Casa del Cinema of Rome. Submit your film and you might be included in our diverse program, and you will also have a chance to win one of our many awards. Thank you to our sponsors and partners: Devent VFX Studio and Fonderia delle Arti!
