The Procida Film Festival comes from a long Journey.
In 2002 the first activities and initiatives related to movie industry were organized on the small island of Procida which counts 34 movie shots in its breathtaking location. In the rest of the world those activities and initiatives were connected to a precise trend: the movie-tourism.
In 2004 all these activities took the name of "Island of the Postman (Postino)" to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the shooting of the movie "The Postman" and the death of its lead actor, Massimo Troisi. A memorable decade that was blessed by a concert of the awarded musician Luis Bacalov who composed the soundtrack of "The Postman".
Over the years those activities continued with the organization of movie-tours (guided tours on the sets of the movies filmed on the island of Procida), presentation of new books, conferences, and screenings.
In 2012 the traditional activities were joined by other events aimed at bringing out the indissoluble bond between Procida and the movie industry: a poetry contest, a photo contest and a competition of short films and documentaries.
In 2013, after a long journey made of love, passion for movies and commitment to the island, the original project group, led by Fabrizio Borgogna, along with many other friends decided to create the Procida Film Festival.
Thie Procida Film Festival aims at enabling a lot of people to meet and discuss about art work, in the magical and breathtaking setting of the island of Procida, which brought luck to many world-renowned filmakers that have started or confirmed their career in this small island. With this spirit and these credentials, we would like to invite filmakers and artists to submit their works to participate to the Procida Film Festival 2024.

The Jury shall be formed by prominent figures of the movie and cultural word. The Jury will award the following prizes:
"Fabrizio Borgogna" Award for the best short film;
"Alessandro Selvaggio" Award to the best documentary;
"Corricella" Award to the best animation movie;

"Isola di Arturo" Award for the category of the best work on social themes;
"Graziella" Award for the best work on environmental themes.
