The Phlegraean Film Festival is the first film festival organized in the Phlaegrean Fields.
A festival of international scope that will host the talents of national and international short cinema in the Phlegraean territory - mainly the city of Bacoli.
The Festival has a twofold objective: on the one hand to offer the filmmakers a new and unprecedented space of expression, paying particular attention to the professionalism of their work; on the other, to make the Phlaegrean Fields a showcase with its many architectural treasures open to all Italy.
In addition Phlegreaean Photograph competition is held.
Phlegraean Photograph is a photo contest that takes place in conjunction with the Phlegraean Film Festival. On this occasion, it was decided to dedicate a space exclusively dedicated to the art of Photography in all its forms, establishing an exhibition of photos that will last for the duration of the event.
The final awards ceremony of the festival will be held on October 2023.
The awards ceremony will be completely dedicated to the competitors and to all those who have made sure that the whole event takes place. The five nominees for the "Best Short Film" category will be screened, alternating the screenings with the awarding of the other categories by the jurors or guests.
The jury is made up of members of the cultural association "Drazil Production", for years specialized in the film industry, boasting numerous participations in many events of this kind and, to ensure even greater professionalism, they will be joined by external jury for each category. These external jurors will be sector technicians chosen for their competence.
We also decided to establish a thematic section dedicated to all the works that pay more attention to ecological and environmental issues, the EcoShort section.
The Jury of this section will be formed by the members of Legambiente Campi Flegrei.
