(in)emergenza

The Bellaria Film Festival, with its forty years of history linked to the new authors of Italian cinema, in collaboration with Cinecittà, is the privileged place in which to “bring out” young talents and give confidence to producers in the first phase of their careers, when it is easier to find themselves “in emergency” to conclude a film work in which so many resources of the working group have already been invested.

Who it’s for: projects in post-production or advanced shooting stage with a budget of less than €500,000, of any format, genre and duration whose authors/producers are of Italian nationality. Priority will be given to feature or medium-length films.

Eight selected film projects will be offered tutoring on the project by three renowned mentors and a pitch session in front of a group of industry professionals (producers, commissioners and sales agents) during the Bellaria Film Festival and concrete help in finalising the project, thanks to cash prizes and post-production support.

The jury, composed of three mentors Francesco Giai Via, Dario Zonta, Aline Hervé, Maura Cosenza and Emanuela Zaccherini, chosen by Cinecittà, decided on the following awards:

•⁠  Prize worth €6,000: Sulla frontiera serba by Federico Cammarata and Filippo Foscarini

•⁠  ⁠Audio-video post-production prize offered by Cinecittà: Sulla frontiera serba by Federico Cammarata and Filippo Foscarini

Itineranze

Itineranze Doc is an atelier for the development of first works, unique in Italy, that unites six festivals dedicated to independent cinema. A training and creative development course dedicated to early-stage film projects strongly related to the cinema of the real. It is aimed at filmmakers from Italy or residing in Italy, with no age limit, who have already made at least one short film and who have a feature film project in the development stage that can be traced back to “cinema of the real.”
