Bellaria film festival 7 - 11 May 2025

“What is independent cinema? It’s made of works capable of making us forget how, where and why they were born, then capable of making us wonder.”
– Enrico Ghezzi

 

Bellaria Film Festival is the home of Italian independent cinema, a special home, by the sea: since 1983 a reference point for new and courageous experiments in film language.
