Isola del Cinema
Each evening over the summer this quality film festival lights up the Isola Tiberina in the middle of the river Tiber. Now in its 19th edition, this year's festival has a special focus on the role of women in European filmmaking, as well as a section dedicated to contemporary Italian cinema and a chance to revisit selected highlights of last season's films distributed by Universal Pictures. The multi-faceted festival includes numerous encounters and discussions with important figures from the film world on the topics of the environment and solidarity. Prizes will be awarded for the best director, film, screenplay, actress and actor. For information tel. 066896639, www.isoladelcinema.com.
