FESTIVAL

AN ALWAYS GROWING AND EVOLVING CULTURAL HERITAGE

MedFilm Festival is the first festival in Italy dedicated to the promotion of Mediterranean and European cinema. Established in 1995 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Cinema and the Barcelona Declaration and based on the conviction that diversity is a value, MedFilm Festival encourages relations, cooperation and the development of the film industry between neighbouring countries.

MedFilm Festival is a grand tour starting from the southern shores of the Mediterranean and reaching Eastern Europe, through the perspective of great masters and young authors who represent our time by redefining borders and establishing new landfalls.

Each film represents the multiple variety of identities and cultures, an invaluable assets and a precious reserve for our future. If such assets disappear the whole cultural heritage gets depleted.

MedFilm Festival has been granted the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic and the Patronage of the European Commission and the European Parliament. It has been declared festival of national interest by the Ministry for Culture and Heritage and it’s supported by the Embassies and Cultural Institutes of more than 40 countries.
