GAROFANO ROSSO
FILM FESTIVAL
#GRFF is the hottest film festival in the world in one of the smallest and coldest villages in Italy, Forme di Massa d’Albe, in the province of L’Aquila – in the heart of the Abruzzo Apennines – location of various masterpieces of cinema such as “The Bible” by John Huston and “The Desert of the Tartars” by Valerio Zurlini.
A free event for the public that has a prevalent educational, cultural and promotional character, with particular attention to issues such as diversity and social inclusion, narrated through the medium of cinema.
WHAT IS THE NEED FOR GAROFANO ROSSO FILM FESTIVAL?
Let us think of the world of recent years: let us think of the curtain of fear descending on the freedom of each one, a curtain that becomes real.
Let’s think of a concrete image: a wall that obstructs the view beyond it.
Let’s think of the incommunicability and the sharpening of differences that were already bitter in the past, and the darkness that all this entails, for everyone’s lives.
Hence the need no longer to escape, to avoid confrontation with reality, but to open some kind of gap in this fence without reason, of reason.

Artistic Director
Abruzzo by birth (and by choice) with a pinch of Albanian origins. I will have an infinite debt to Spielberg, Nolan, Von Trier and all those great directors capable of making me dream like my grandmother Rachele’s lasagna.
