The World through someone else's eyes
Cinema Festival in the Capital
There is another way of discovering beauty: watching a story unfold
In November, Rome becomes a meeting place for filmmakers, young talents, and audiences from around the world.
From 5 to 15 November, the MedFilm Festival returns to the city for its 32nd edition, bringing together films, premieres, meetings, professional events, and stories from Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.
A few days later, from 11 to 15 November, Rome will host the first edition of the CSC – International Student Film Festival, promoted by the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and dedicated to short films created by students from leading film and audiovisual schools around the world.
Two festivals, two different perspectives, one shared idea:
Cinema allows us to see the world through someone else’s eyes.
It can transport us to another country, another time, another life.
It can make us recognise something familiar in a story that is completely foreign to us.
And this is perhaps why cinema belongs so naturally to Rome.
A city that has been photographed, painted, filmed, imagined, and reinvented countless times continues to provide new stories.
At Parisii, we believe that some of the most beautiful journeys can begin when we look through someone else’s eyes.
