After a three-year restoration, in May 2024 the Azzurro Scipioni cinema reopened its doors stronger than before.
Always considered the point of reference for arthouse cinema in Rome and in Italy, a film festival organized in the temple of independent and quality cinema, a point of reference for lovers of auteur cinema, could not be missed.
Cinema Azzurro Scipioni – Where Cinema is art
This is the slogan of cinema, and through the festival we want to make known the works of filmmakers from all over the world.
5 days of screenings, meetings, debates and screenings in the presence of authors, journalists and experts in the sector.
Silvano Agosti is the founder and deus ex machina of cinema and the artistic director of the festival.
OUT OF COMPETITION EVENTS AND CHAPLIN AWARD
During the festival, out-of-competition works will be screened, including fiction films, animations, documentaries, short films and experimental works that will be selected by the artistic director and the jury.
Works that will give space to debates and masterclasses of all kinds. On the day dedicated to the festival awards, the historic CHAPLIN AWARD of the Azzurro Scipioni cinema will also be awarded.
The award, conceived by Silvano Agosti, has in the past been awarded to names of the caliber of Michelangelo Antonioni, Marco Bellocchio, Ennio Morricone, Nicola Piovani, Alejandro Jodorowsky and many other authors who have graced the Azzurro Scipioni grounds. Building on its history, the Charlie Chaplin award will be awarded to new talents so that they emerge and bring new life to Italian cinema.
Directors and cinematographers are integral to the filmmaking process, where directors provide creative vision and artistic direction while cinematographers translate that into visual storytelling through camera work and lighting. The collaboration between these two roles is crucial in creating the mood, tone, and narrative depth of a film. Honoring their achievements acknowledges the artistry and technical skill involved, highlighting how their synergy brings stories to life on screen. Awards serve not only as recognition of excellence but also as inspiration for future filmmakers, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in the cinematic arts.
The Awards Ceremony is an event that will screen winning works from select categories and honorable mentions, after which awards will be presented to the Directors and Cinematographers. The event not only serves to recognize the achievements of these individuals, but also as a networking event for peers and colleagues in the entertainment industry.
