Pollino International Film Festival is produced by Antonio Romagnoli, in collaboration with Il Varco S.R.L.
Produced by Samuele Leogrande in collaboration with Peripherica APS and Masistro Park
The Pollino Film Fest was born from the belief that cinema can be so much more than just a screening.
Nestled in the heart of the Pollino National Park, the festival serves as a meeting point where cinema, nature, and people converge. For three days, filmmakers, industry professionals, students, and enthusiasts gather to share screenings, masterclasses, hiking excursions, live music, and meaningful dialogue, all set against one of Italy’s most breathtaking landscapes.
Our symbol is the Pino Loricato—the iconic tree of the Pollino range. Sculpted by wind and time, it embodies the resilience to endure, to adapt, and to keep growing even in the harshest conditions. We see that same strength in independent cinema and in the stories we choose to share.
The Pollino Film Fest is more than just a film festival.
It is a sanctuary for the bold.
Masistro Park – Parco Nazionale del Pollino. 24 – 26 July 2026
We are looking for new international authors that make independent cinema with style, language, aesthetics, ideas and authorship. We don’t care what the starting budget is, or what biggest star act in it: we just care about pure cinema.
