Nòt Film Fest is dedicated to great independent films and creating opportunities for their filmmakers. An open air film festival offering a unique festival experience that is more than just outdoor movies. Our mission has been honored throughout the festival's past editions, held live in Santarcangelo di Romagna (Italy) , a small village nested in the hills by the Adriatic coast near Federico Fellini’s hometown Rimini . Up-and-coming writers, directors and producers, alongside seasoned veterans and film lovers, converge for the weeklong celebration of independent cinema, making Nòt Film Fest a great place to find the next, great, visionary films.
In the commitment to create real opportunities for our filmmakers and launch their career Nòt Film Fest created several partnerships to offer special awards, education, distribution opportunities as well as daily networking events to connect in a friendly and informal environment.
