SUL LAGO
Bracciano Film Festival celebrates independent and international cinema in a unique lakeside setting — screenings, encounters and cultural exchange on the shores of Lago di Bracciano.
Our mission
Independent cinema,
every form, every voice.
Bracciano Film Festival celebrates independent cinema and diverse arts in Bracciano — a historic town near Rome where a medieval castle and a volcanic lake set the stage for screenings across the town's palaces, theatre and churches. We welcome work from filmmakers at every stage of their career, from any country and in any language, judged on vision and craft alone.
