A great little film festival in the heart of Rome
“Piano B produzioni” is an Italian movie production company based in Rome, active for many years in the cinema industry. Among its most important productions, the film/documentary ENNIO by Giuseppe Tornatore, dedicated to the life of Maestro Ennio Morricone.
The festival was born from the need to create a moment dedicated to getting to know new authors
and to give cinephiles from all over the world the opportunity to compare themselves, creating
concrete opportunities for professionals in the cine-audiovisual world.
Through the
festival, we could discover new authors and give them the opportunity to produce new works.
The festival is mainly focused on short films, but there will also be a section dedicated
to feature films.
The first edition of the festival will take place in Rome at the
NUOVO CINEMA AQUILA.
A
full day dedicated to screenings, introductions, discussions, and awards.
