You are cordially invited to be part of the upcoming annual CFMA Film & Media Festival. Our goal is to connect independent artists and professionals in film, the arts, and new media from all origins and cultures while also providing them visibility, networking possibilities, and the opportunity to celebrate within an amazing environment rich in history and beauty.
The 2024 event will take place on March 2 & 3, 2024, in Bracciano (Rome, Italy).
The event will take place at a number of places in the historical center, surrounded by the castle, the magnificent S. Stefano Cathedral, the historic Municipality Archive, the breathtaking Sentinella Viewpoint, and other conference and entertainment facilities.
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, with awards delivered digitally and as physical trophies.
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.
The awards are permanently notarised digitally on the blockchain as NFTs, leaving an imprint on history that goes beyond the ceremony and the trophies.
