+1.000 five star reviews, thousands of submissions from 150+ countries in the world.

Founded in Rome in 2018, in seven years the Prisma Awards has grown to become one of the most community-oriented festivals, hosting more than 400 filmmakers from all over the world and presenting films driven by the urgency to evoke emotions, by the desire to move people, films that bravely tell stories that deserve to be told — no matter the budget, no matter the culture, no matter the genre.

In the monthly film festival landscape, many events are unethical and non-transparent, charging filmmakers embarrassing entry fees without then committing to showing and promoting their work in the best way possible. We at the Prisma Awards work to reshape this system for the better.

We created an always improving stage-by-stage monthly festival that revolves around live screenings in Rome and with submission costs within reach of everyone (𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘣𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴: 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘺, 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘮 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 24 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴). In this way, first-time filmmakers and world-class talent can participate in a fair competition where everyone starts from the same line.

Hosted by Cinema Azzurro Scipioni, in its first year Prisma Awards saw Silvano Agosti as the president of the jury, legendary italian director that has worked alongside the greatest italian professionals like Morricone, Storaro, Piovani and many others. In its second year it moved to Cinema dei Piccoli, one of the oldest movie theaters of Rome in the heart of Villa Borghese park since 1934. In 2020 the new artistic director Marcello Di Trocchio stepped in, shaping a series of screenings on Twitch very popular during the pandemic. In 2021, the festival came back live at Cinema Farnese, one of the most magical cinemas in Rome, where it currentyl holds its events.

Many of the films we’ve screened have passed through first-class festivals, like the short films 𝘍𝘢́𝘳 by Gunnur Martinsdóttir Schlüter or 𝘈𝘶𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘚𝘬𝘺 by Jasmin Tenucci , both winners of the Special Mention at Cannes Film Festival, or 𝘐𝘤𝘦 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 by João Gonzalez and 𝘊𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 by Leo Berne and Raphaël Rodriguez, both shortlisted in the Academy Awards, or 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘢 by Lucía G. Romero and 𝘓𝘢 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘢 𝘓𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢 by Christian Avilés from the official selection of Berlinale and Locarno Film Festivals. At the same time, we are always proud to bring to the big screen also unpublished gems that we fortunately intercept and that almost nobody else shows.
