CFMA was inspired by the idea of connection.
Connection in time, hosting a breaking-through event while surrounded by the ancient history and culture of Rome and its outskirts.
Connection in space, bringing together creatives and professionals from all continents, exchanging ideas within a medieval architectural gem.
Connection in spirit, supporting the arts, surrounded by the natural, architectural, and eno-gastronomical wonders of Bracciano.
bracciano, a place for storytelling
Filmmakers including Orson Welles, Guy Ritchie, Oliver Parker, Federico Fellini, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Michael Hoffman, and most recently Sorrentino with The Young Pope (amongst many more) have used the Orsini-Odescalchi Castle and the surrounding area as shooting locations.
Located just a few miles north of Rome and connected by a direct metro line to the city center, Bracciano is a unique location rich in architectural, naturalistic, and historical wonders.
The Lake of Bracciano, which serves as Rome’s drinking water reservoir, is home to one of the cleanest freshwaters on the planet due to its spring-like qualities and preserved fauna and vegetation.
THE AWARDS
Over 30 categories will be reviewed by our jury.
In addition to cinema, which is our primary focus, the CFMA is the first arts festival to also feature new media projects.
Our specialised jury members will also welcome applications for complex projects such as games, interactive media, immersive experiences, experimental web projects, mixed media, etc. evaluating video presentations or descriptive documents for projects at any stage of development.
