Rome

Festa del Cinema, after the summer crowds

October brings cinema to the Auditorium Parco della Musica, with premieres, conversations and a little red-carpet glamour.

the day

A little cinema, a little glamour.

Spend an October evening at the Rome Film Fest, where premieres, screenings and conversations bring a lively energy to the Auditorium Parco della Musica. It is an easy way to experience a different side of Rome as autumn settles in.

The festival

A different kind of Roman premiere.

For a few days each October, the Auditorium becomes a meeting point for filmmakers, cinema lovers and anyone drawn to a good story. Major screenings sit alongside smaller encounters and conversations, making it easy to shape the evening around whatever catches your eye.

The venue

Rome’s most contemporary cultural address.

Designed by Renzo Piano, the Auditorium offers a striking change of scene from the historic centre. Wide steps, open public spaces and the surrounding park give the complex a relaxed atmosphere, even when the festival is at its busiest. Arrive early enough for an aperitivo before the screening.

The evening

Let the programme choose the night.

Pick a film you know nothing about, or stay for a conversation afterwards. Follow it with a late dinner somewhere nearby and let the evening continue at its own pace. Autumn in Rome lends itself to plans that begin with a screening and end wherever the night takes you.
