Fondazione Cinema per Roma

Founded in February 2007, the Fondazione Cinema per Roma promotes Italian and international cinema, bringing the biggest film stars, prestigious premieres, and in-depth research screenings to the capital. Committed to supporting both the artistic and industrial growth of audiovisual media in Rome and Lazio, the Foundation fosters the spread of cinematic culture to all audiences, particularly young people.

Over the years, it has collaborated with institutional partners such as the Ministry of Culture, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers – Department for Equal Opportunities, cultural organizations like Fondazione MAXXI, MACRO, and the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, numerous private partners, and the entire industry association network.

The Foundation organizes one of the most important international film events, the Rome Film Fest, manages the Casa del Cinema at Villa Borghese, and runs a series of summer open-air cinemas in the city, including Roma Cinema Arena at Parco degli Acquedotti and the arenas in Tor Bella Monaca, Santa Maria della Pietà, and Corviale. It also acts as the implementing body for the Rome City of Film UNESCO project.
