Un nuevo Festival de Cine dedicado a todas las películas que tienen la MUSIC como protagonista. El cine y la música siempre han sido artes en estrecha relación. La música, en el cine, es obviamente una banda sonora que define la identidad de la película; pero también puede ser el tema principal de la historia: de ficciones a biopics, de documentales a musicales. El Festival pretende explorar los nuevos talentos del cine que consideran la música como un elemento fundamental del cine. COMPETENCIA INTERNACIONAL de largometrajes. Evento principal del Festival, proyectará las mejores películas internacionales para la investigación artística, estrenos italianos de todos los géneros, relacionados con la Música: ficciones, documentales, musicales y biopics. COMPETENCIA INTERNACIONAL de SHORTS. Una selección de 15 cortometrajes de todos los géneros relacionados con la música: ficciones, documentales, musicales y biopics. EVENTOS ESPECIALES. En esta sección se proyectarán obras de célebres cineastas y de los protagonistas de la escena musical, en estreno nacional. EVENTO SATELLITE: el festival propone cada año un concierto de películas clásicas interpretadas por los mejores grupos de música contemporánea. PANORAMA sobre las nuevas tendencias del cine internacional en los últimos 10 años, todas las películas inéditas en Italia. IDENTIDAD DE SONIDO Otro tipo de cultura es posible: intelectual sin ser académica, popular sin ser populista, inteligente sin ser aburrida, artística sin ser incomprensible. El festival pretende crear una nueva cultura del cine, mostrando sus nuevas formas y géneros alternativos, un cine fino nacido en una biodiversidad fresca hecha de ideas brillantes, grandes visiones y emociones poderosas; y explorando, en las artes contemporáneas, la relación cada vez más fértil entre el cine y música.
