Today, September 20, 2024, during a press conference at the Teatro Olimpico in Rome, the full program of the 19th edition of the Rome Film Fest was unveiled, set to take place from October 16 to 27, 2024. This year, the event celebrates the centenary of the birth of Marcello Mastroianni, one of the greatest icons of Italian and international cinema, with a retrospective and an official image depicting him on the set of Federico Fellini’s masterpiece, “8½.”
Over the years, the Rome Film Fest has become a landmark in the international landscape, thanks to a carefully curated selection that attracts cinephiles, industry professionals, and big-screen stars worldwide every year. With a mix of world premieres, masterclasses, and special screenings, this 19th edition promises to deliver strong emotions and high-level cinematic insights.
This year’s program is particularly rich, featuring six official sections that range from crowd-pleasers to experimental works by emerging directors. Here are the details of the main sections:
The festival’s most prestigious competitive section, the Progressive Cinema Competition, hosts 18 international films exploring visions of the future, reflecting on the challenges and hopes of the contemporary world. This section includes fiction films, documentaries, and animations.
Among the most anticipated titles are:
The films in the competition will be evaluated by a jury of international cinema and culture professionals, who will award prizes in categories such as Best Film, Grand Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Screenplay, as well as acting awards like the Monica Vitti Award for Best Actress and the Vittorio Gassman Award for Best Actor.
This non-competitive section offers a showcase for free-format and style works, from feature films to music videos and video art to television series. It celebrates creative and experimental freedom, including titles such as:
Dedicated to the general audience, this section presents internationally appealing films for a wide audience. Among this year’s premieres are:
This section brings together some of the season’s best films, already presented and acclaimed at major international festivals. It allows Roman audiences to see award-winning films from around the world, contributing to the global dimension of the Fest.
The Special Screenings section will find out-of-competition films, tributes, and works celebrating cinema personalities and significant anniversaries. Among them is the screening of the highly anticipated “Megalopolis” by Francis Ford Coppola, which will be presented on October 14 in its Italian premiere at the Cinecittà Studios as a pre-opening event of the Fest.
Finally, the Cinema History section offers a selection of restored classic films, honouring directors and actors who have marked the history of the seventh art. This year, the most significant tribute will be to Marcello Mastroianni, with a series of screenings dedicated to his most iconic films and documentaries and exhibitions throughout Rome.
A special event awaits film fans with the pre-opening of the Rome Film Fest and Alice nella Città, which will take place on October 14, 2024, at the historic Cinecittà Studios. During this occasion, “Megalopolis,” the latest masterpiece by director Francis Ford Coppola, will be screened in its Italian premiere. The event will also be streamed live from the Sala Petrassi at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, allowing a wider audience to attend the presentation.
The following day, on October 15, Coppola will meet with the juries of Alice nella Città, film school students, and the public. During this meeting, the director will reflect on the highlights of his extraordinary career, sharing thoughts on cinema and future projects.
The full program is available here.
