Alice nella Città and Rome Film Fest developments
Overview
The Alice nella Città film festival established a partnership with Premio Film Impresa and Unindustria to bridge the gap between the film industry and production. This initiative introduced the ‘Premio Film Impresa – Under 35’ for female directors and the ‘Premio Alice nella Città – Premio Film Impresa’ for films focusing on cinema, business, and innovation in the Lazio region.
During the 24th edition, held alongside the Rome Film Fest, Sandra Wollner’s ‘Everytime’ was named Best Film by a youth jury. Other winners included Giacomo Mazzariol for Best Italian Film with ‘Senza chiedere permesso,’ and Lorenzo Maria Chierici, who received the Audience Award for ‘Figli perduti.’
The 21st edition of the Rome Film Fest concluded with the Progressive Cinema competition awarding Best Film to British director Clio Barnard for ‘I See Buildings Fall Like Lightning.’ Anthony Boyle and Paolo Pierobon shared the Best Actor award, while Tim Blake Nelson received the Grand Jury Prize for ‘The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd.’ Rafiki Fariala won Best Director for ‘Congo Boy,’ which also shared the Audience Award with ‘Mustang.’ Victoria Luengo was named Best Actress for ‘Sants.’
Parallel to these events, Alice nella Città featured the Sorriso Diverso Roma Award, focusing on social inclusion, and the Marateale Talent People Awards, which honored Enrico Vanzina and the singer Noemi. The festival, which has officially gained competitive status from the FIAPF, recorded nearly 120,000 attendees. Organizers have scheduled the 22nd edition for October 19 to 31, 2027.
