International Festival of Archaeological Cinema

L'Italia si racconta (Italy tells about itself)

Cinema

The International Festival of Archaeological Film is held in Rovereto every year in the first week of October.

A large-scale cultural event, to look forward to every year for its vast number of films and documentaries by the best Italian and foreign producers. Its international scope is linked to the need for dissemination: all the productions presented at the Festival are translated and dubbed into Italian in order to be enjoyed by a vast audience and not only by 'insiders'. We are in fact convinced that cinema is a valid instrument of knowledge for transmitting high-level cultural contents, in this case connected to our history and past. 

Every year there is a prize "Città di Rovereto" for the film most liked by the audience. Other acknowledgements are a Special Mention by Archeoblogger, presented by a jury selected by Archeoblogger itself and the special Mention CinemAMoRe, that brings together Trentino's three international film competitions: Rovereto's International Archaeology Film Festival, Trento's Film Festival and the Religion Today Film Festival. Every two years the "Paolo Orsi" prize is also handed out, to the production considered the most worthy by an international Jury composed of well-known personalities in the archaeological, cinematographic and cultural fields.

To complete a programme mainly based on historical and archaeological films and documentaries, the Festival also proposes many meetings with experts, book presentations, educational labs, and web TV to see the films again after the end of the Festival. 

THE FESTIVAL ONLINE

Breaking News!

The Festival opens a large virtual room with 500 seats. Unfortunately the health emergency has limited the number of seats in the theater and at the Museum, and also the possibility of traveling for those who have a long journay. 
So the Festival staff decided to present for the first time an online programming, in addition to the screening in cinema and theater.
All the films in competition and most of the 2020 programming will be available for free online viewing with a simple registration on the dedicated platform

The link will be online soon.
Stay tuned!
