Per il cinema italiano

The official selection of the competition dedicated to Italian cinema includes feature-length films, medium-length films, fiction films and documentaries making their Italian premiere, without distinction of genre or production, in the spirit of creativity and independence. In keeping with the ‘community’ ethos of Bif&st, the works will be judged by a popular jury which will award the prize for best film. Screenings will take place at the Multicinema Galleria.
