Rome’s film festival (since 2006) runs in October at the Auditorium Parco della Musica. Less prestigious than Venice, more accessible, and in a better city.
Plan this trip →Mid-to-late October (10 days). Program at romacinemafest.it.
Screenings at the Auditorium Parco della Musica (Renzo Piano’s venue, Flaminio district). Red carpet at the Auditorium. Retrospectives, tributes, new releases. The atmosphere is more relaxed than Venice — less industry, more cinephile.
€8–15 per screening. Day pass: €20. Available at romacinemafest.it. Rarely sells out (except gala premieres). Free outdoor screenings in the Auditorium’s outdoor cavea.
