COLIFFE - COLiseum International Film FEstival

About

COLIFFE is an international film festival that offers a platform to show and promote cinematographic works from all over the world which was born from an initiative of the PIANETA EMPATIA Association, with the aim of creating a moment of cultural and social aggregation, an experience of cooperation and integration.

COLISEUM, as a symbol of the Capital and of the territory to be enhanced by creating cultural specificities that act as an attraction;

INTERNATIONAL, like works from all over the world;

FILM, as a means of international communication, comparison as well as a container for criticism, development and promotion;

FESTIVAL, as a competition and showcase of titles and personalities.

The PIANETA EMPATIA Association, committed to developing proposals that promote cultural opportunities present in the territory, sees cinema as a vehicle through which a territory can start a process of cultural growth capable of triggering development mechanisms combined with local activities same.

In this case the territory is the splendid reality of Rome and its surroundings, places full of ancient villas, ancient ruins and breathtaking views, as well as a generous food and wine offering.

The aim of the festival is to promote international competitiveness through attractiveness, a theme that concerns territories not only for what they are but also for how they can be developed and communicated. A territory is social value, exchange value and experience value, but also cultural value and economic value.

And the theme of the exchange between economy, experience and culture is what pushed us to focus on the territories of the Capital and its surroundings, which, located in this splendid geographical area, can spread the culture of cinema as a privileged meeting place between stories of countries and peoples distant from each other, encouraging the bringing together of different cultures.

The fourth edition of the Festival is defined as social, that is, with the aim of enhancing the aggregation of all the protagonists of independent cinema and first works.

From 5 to 12 December, the COLiseum International Film FEstival (COLIFFE) will be organized online via two web channels, one Italian and one international, international, where the finalist works will be broadcast in full HD or 4k to be voted by the online public.

On 19, 20 and 21 December the best work will be screened in 4k in Rome.

The final evening "THE LAST WINNER" will be on December 22nd in Rome.

On December 22nd Rome will not only be the city of the Pope: it will be the city of cinema. All for the love of cinema, our event full of networking, guest speakers, film premieres and more. There's a reason why Rome is different: because of the Coliseum International Film Festival, the last film festival of the year and the last winners of the year.
