New Italian Cinema is a dynamic film festival that showcases new Italian films from young emerging filmmakers and seasoned masters alike.

City of Florence Award
We invite you to discover seven up-and-coming directors whose dramatic features are competing for the City of Florence Award. The award honors the first or second feature by an Italian director. The City of Florence Award will be decided by audience ballot, and announced on Closing Night, Sunday, November 20 at the Vogue Theatre. In addition to the seven features in competition, New Italian Cinema showcases five dramatic films by veteran Italian directors as part of the Special Screenings presentations. This year, we will also open a window on Italian documentaries in collaboration with the Festival dei Popoli, Italy’s most prestigious documentary film festival by screening three award-winning documentaries.
