MaMoFF (Malpensa Moto Film Festival) is an international moto-thematic film festival. It will be the first festival of this kind to born in a territory that, since the biginning of the last century, has expressed the excellence in bike’s sector, doing it worldwide, and on all fronts: iconic brands and unforgettable champions were born here; here has flourished an industry which, through experience and quality, has managed to become legendary tradition. The territory of Malpensa, moreover, for its natural conformity, seems made for being traveled on two wheels.
MaMoFF was born with the aim of further valorizing this area and its motorcycle culture. The world of motorcycles is made up of speed and technique, passion and adrenaline. Here it also represents economic, aesthetic and cultural excellence. MaMoFF will be a multiplier of visibility of all this, but it will also be a contest of moto-thematic short films. Because icons demand the best representation, and cinema is the medium that, more than any other, can pay homage to certain Divas.
It will be 5 days of culture and entertainment, reviews and awards, guests of honor, sports performances, exhibitions, shows, concerts, workshops. The declinations will be manifold, but everything will revolve around a single theme: the motorbike, observed from all sides, and from all corners of the world.
The festival will bring hundreds of people to our area, including motorcyclists, film buffs, artists, journalists, entrepreneurs, tourists and the curious, through a series of events of great attraction.
For this reason, MaMoFF aims to become, already from this first edition, a point of reference in the cultural, tourist and sporting panorama.
