Filming Italy Sardegna Festival 2024

The seventh edition of Filming Italy Sardegna Festival take place from June 20 to 23, 2024 at Forte Village in Cagliari. The Festival has become a reference point for the promotion of audiovisual products", confirms Rocca, "and for many young students who have approached the world of the seventh art full of hope and curiosity". 

The Honorary President of the Festival will be actress Brie Larson: the jury president for our short film will be Paz Vega. American actress and singer Bella Thorne will receive the Filming Italy International Award for her directorial debut, the short film Paint Her Red, which will be screened during the Festival. Claudia Gerini and Harvey Keitel, two great actors of film, television and theater, will play the role of "Ambassadors of the Festival".

For Rocca, "a woman has to work twice as hard to prove herself, this is a rule in all professions, so you need a lot of determination, a lot of tenacity, a lot of willpower. There is a need for many more female directors who tell beautiful and interesting stories and put the figure of the woman in the spotlight. So we hope that many women will choose more women. I think this is the most important thing: to create more synergy and to be more complicit.

International guests at this year's Filming Italy Sardegna include Matt Bomer, Colman Domingo, Bo Derek, Rosario Dawson, Patricia Arquette, Harvey Keitel, Katie Holmes, Ioan Gruffudd, Carla Gugino, Dolph Lundgren, Simon Baker, Kate Beckinsale, John David Washington, Liam Cunningham, Nell Tiger Free, Alexandra Daddario and Gemma Arterton.
