Dal 24 Febbraio al 4 Marzo 2018, torna il Festival del Cinema Città di Spello ed I Borghi Umbri, appuntamento imperdibile per tutti gli appassionati di cinema.
Il festival nasce infatti nel 2012 con lo scopo di promuovere la cultura cinematografica in tutte le sue forme e soprattutto per valorizzare ed avvicinare il pubblico alle professioni del “dietro le quinte” del cinema.
Il festival infatti si propone come Rassegna Concorso Le Professioni del Cinema, dedicata all’immenso operato di sceneggiatori, direttori della fotografia, scenografi, fonici, montatori, costumisti, truccatori, addetti agli effetti speciali… e di tutti quei professionisti il cui immenso lavoro, spesso poco conosciuto, è fondamentale per la realizzazione di un film.
I lungometraggi presenti al festival concorrono in diverse categorie: film italiani, stranieri, backstage e documentari. Una Giuria composta da professionisti del Cinema assegnerà un premio per ogni categoria. Dal 2015, le proiezioni sono composte anche da 7 lungometraggi europei scelti tra le produzioni del biennio precedente, privilegiando quei film di qualità che hanno avuto una minore distribuzione nelle sale. Tutte le proiezioni sono ad ingresso gratuito.

From 25th February to 5th March 2017, there will be the Film Festival of Spello and Umbrian Towns, an unmissable appointment for all the cinema lovers.
In fact this Festival was created in 2012 with the aim to promote film culture in all of his forms and also to enhance and get the public closer to the professions “behind the scenes” of cinema. The festival, in fact, proposes itself as a Review – Competition about the Cinema Professions dedicated to the great work of screenwriters, cinematographers, set designers, sound engineers, editors, costume designers, makeup artists, responsibles for the special effects… and all of those professionists whose work, often little known, is crucial for the realization of a film.
The movies shown at the festival compete in different categories: Italian movies, foreign movies, backstage and documentaries. A jury composed by professionals of Cinema will award a prize for each category. Since 2015, the projections have been composed also by 7 European films selected among the productions of the previous two years, focusing on those films of value that have had a minor distribution. All screenings are free admission.
The Film Festival of Spello obviously has its nerve center in the beautiful town of Spello, in particular at the Subasio Theater and the Cinema Palazzo (at the Town Hall).
Many other towns participate in the initiative also this year, with screenings and events in enchanting places, that are also able to enhance the excellences of the Umbrian region. From the Sala Fra’ Giordano of Giano dell’Umbria to the Auditorium San Domenico of Foligno, from the Metastasio Theater of Assisi to the Astra Cinema of Gubbio, passing by the Belle Arti Academy of Perugia and the wonderful Concordia Theater of Montecastello di Vibio.
In addiction, there will be also a special screening accompanied by a rich tasting at the House of Chocolate in Perugia, which on this occasion will have a special night opening.
This year, the theme chosen in the section dedicated to documentaries is the strict relation between “Cinema & Food”, which will be the theme of a special exhibition too, organized by the Experimental Center of Cinematography – National Film Archive. The exhibit, with a suggestive photo gallery, will be entirely realized by archive images linked to three places of nutrition: street, kitchen and table, highlighting how the food has a privileged perspective from which to observe customs and traditions and to record changes in the society.
