The CIFF is the international film festival that brings the big screen to the magical setting of Cittadella (Padua), one of the most fascinating walled cities in Italy. An international event that combines screenings, awards, masterclasses, and meetings with directors and actors, transforming the city into a true stage dedicated to the seventh art.
Under the direction of Revolux Studios and Revolux Studios Records, the festival aims to serve as a cultural bridge that unites directors, artists, and cinema enthusiasts from around the world.
The program, spread over three intense days, will transform Torre di Malta into an open-air cinema lounge with screenings of high-profile works.
The beating heart of the competition will be the awarding of the prestigious Tower of Malta Award. A recognition that celebrates not only technical excellence but also the ability of works to narrate universal stories that transcend geographical and linguistic boundaries.
Cittadella is a unique walled city located in the heart of Veneto, in the province of Padua. Founded in 1220, it is famous for its perfectly preserved medieval walls, which can be entirely walked around thanks to a panoramic walk that embraces the entire historic center. A place of great architectural and cultural charm, Cittadella is the perfect meeting of history, art, and urban beauty. Its historic palaces, squares, towers, and bastions provide ideal backdrops for culturally significant international events.
