The 21st Rome Film Fest features several new film premieres. Sabrina Iannucci made her feature film debut with ‘7 anniversari’, a story about a couple attempting to end a seven-year relationship. The film is competing for the Poste Italiane award for best debut work.

‘7 anniversari’ is described as a bittersweet romantic comedy set between Cuneo and Lisbon. It follows Teo (Lorenzo Zurzolo), a creative delivery rider, and Emma (Benedetta Porcaroli), a professional voice actress, who enter a pact to end their relationship after exactly seven years to avoid the fears of permanent commitment. The film, a co-production between Italy and Portugal, marks Iannucci’s transition to fiction following a background in documentary filmmaking.

Additionally, Susanna Nicchiarelli presented ‘Giorni felici’ in the ‘Progressive Cinema’ international competition. Based on a comic by ZUZU, the film follows a young woman named Claudia who undergoes fantastical physical transformations when experiencing intense emotions.
