Film Festival 2027

Since its inception in 2021, the Villa Medici Film Festival has been exploring the links between film and contemporary art. Artists’ films, experimental, fictional, and documentary films, whether short, medium, or feature-length: the Festival aims to adopt a groundbreaking approach by encouraging encounters between pluralistic works that question our relationship with images.

The festival is made up of three sections: the international competition, with recent films of all genres and lengths mixed up together, the Focus program, with artists’ films out of competition, jurors’ picks and special meetings with the filmmakers, and finally the gala evenings in the Piazzale, with open-air screenings of previews and restored classics
