CINEMA – Festa Internazionale di Roma: a great new festival taking place in a great city. And not just a festival but a real feast for movie lovers and a great event for all those who work for cinema, show cinema, tell us stories through cinema. Not just a great city, but THE city of cinema par excellence, will host the Festival which will transform its centre - the Auditorium Parco della Musica - in the Parco del Cinema for nine days.
the event will premiere at Rome’s Auditorium from the 15th to the 23rd of October 2009, along with screenings at movie theatres and events held in spots that symbolize the city, from the Via Veneto to Piazza del Popolo, from Cinecittà to “Greater Rome”. Locations in the province of Rome and the entire Lazio region will also be chosen for events during and immediately after the festival.
the festival is produced by the Musica per Roma Foundation, and its prestigious venue is Rome’s new Auditorium designed by star architect Renzo Piano, who donated the exclusive logo that will characterize all the events on the program. The Festival is funded not only by the City of Rome and the Rome Chamber of Commerce but also by the Lazio Region, the Province of Rome and by the main sponsor, BNL Bank. In addition, it is supported by commercial partners and corporate sponsors who believed in the idea of a great urban event and making it happen, thanks to the highest international standards as well as the undeniable popularity of the innovative cultural agenda.
