  • Festival Description:

    The 17th edition of Alpe Adria Cinema – Trieste Film Festival is the most rich and articulated Italian film festival devoted to the cinema from Central and Eastern Europe and beyond. The Festival, run by artistic director Annamaria Percavassi, owes its international well-establish prestige first of all to the curious and long-term opening to the more ad more wide and new geographical areas, and also to the focusing attention towards the very high quality of the selection. The Festival is a unique opportunity to meet with filmmakers, actors, film professionals coming from these explored areas of interest, in order to discuss freely with film critics and experts.

    Every year the Festival displays a wide and diversified program, composed of about 150 titles, with an increasing number of international and national premieres of feature films, documentaries and short films, all screened in three theatres in their original version and subtitled into both English and Italian. In addition to the presentation of the best films made during the last year in the Central and Eastern European countries, the Festival offers special events, unique monographic sections and a retrospective traditionally devoted to an important and original filmmaker of our areas of interest.
