ROME INDIPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL
Our Blogger: Diana
Cinema Fans from all over the world are landing at Rome in March.
The VIII edition of the RIFF (Rome independent Film Festival) kicks off on March 19th and will last for seven days showcasing more than 80 movies from documentaries, to shorts and animations of the highest calibre.
The film-maker winning the competition will be awarded with a prize of 50,000 euros and the opportunity of theatre distribution. Outstanding winners of the past editions of the Rome Indipendent Film Festival are Marko Kostic with The Paper prince, Lisa F Jackson with The greatest silence: rape in the Congo, and Alessandro Valori with Chi nasce tondo.
This year among the most promising Italian candidates we find Sleeping around by Marco Carniti with Anna Galiena and Lotta by Daniele Anzellotti with Giovanna Mezzogiorno.
Workshops and seminaries are as well organised since this Festival has gained during the years a key-role as an exchange point in the cinema field where both old and new generations can give a contribution.
To enjoy many stimulating cultural activities while in Rome is important to find accomodation in well-located hotels with great standards of quality. Check Hotel des Artistes and Yes Hotel to start your trip on the right foot.
