Dear Filmmakers, Producers and Distributors,
We sincerely hope that everything is fine with you and all your loved ones.
As you know, due to the global health crisis related to Covid-19 the 23rd edition of CinemAmbiente – Environmental Film Festival was not held on the scheduled dates, from May 29 to June 3.
In the light of an improvement in the health situation in Italy, we have decided to organize a Special Edition of the Festival, that will be held in October, 1st – 4th, named “Movies Save the Planet”.
There won’t be any competition, nor “physical guests”, but we will screen to our public a selection of all the films you have sent us, in order to relaunch the debate on cinema and the environment.
We would like to thank you for trusting our Festival and sending your films for selection, but more than any other years we have been forced to make choices.
We hope to receive your new films for the 2021 edition!
Stay safe,
Festival CinemAmbiente
CinemAmbiente – Environmental Film Festival was born in 1998 with the aim of presenting outstanding environmental films that promote cinema and green awareness.
