Original Title:
Selections are open for the
71st edition of the Taormina Film Festival, which will take place from June 10
to 14, 2025, under the direction of Tiziana Rocca. The Festival will be divided
into three sections: the International Feature Film Competition, the Out of
Competition section, and Special Events at the Ancient Theatre.
On this occasion, the official
poster for this edition has been unveiled, paying tribute to Giuseppe
Tornatore's film Malèna, distributed by Medusa Film, in celebration of
the 25th anniversary of its theatrical release.
Tiziana Rocca, Artistic Director of the Festival, stated: "On the 25th anniversary of the release of Malèna, we are happy and proud to dedicate this year’s Taormina Film Festival poster to one of the most iconic films in contemporary Italian cinema. Malèna, directed by Oscar winner Giuseppe Giuseppe Tornatore, has left an indelible mark on the collective imagination, portraying with extraordinary delicacy and poetry the story of a woman, her allure, and her solitude, in a landscape that is as much internal as it is social".
Feature films completed after
October 1, 2024, and presented exclusively as an Italian premiere are eligible
for selection in the Competition. The festival’s management will appoint an
international jury responsible for awarding the following prizes: Best Film,
Best Actress, and Best Actor.
Applicants wishing to submit their works for any section of the Festival can do so starting from March 14 until no later than May 27, 2025, through the official Festival website: https://taorminafilmfest.com/
