#FFFEXPERIENCE is our unique way of blending movie premiere screenings and movie themes parties and events in such an engaging way that you will feel part of the magic of Cinema. Our festival is different from all the others because it breaks the barrier between red carpet and the audience, keeping exclusivity and glamour. You are the protagonist!
All of this surrounded by the marvelous City of Ferrara, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where you will find breathtaking monuments to visit and the best Italian food you'll ever have!
Let's not forget that we take care of a lot of social issues, doing also a lot of charity! For example we have an Italian exclusive joint partnership with UNICEF, where we have a dedicated award and category of powerful films... and we also host screenings of some of the films in competition at the biggest hospital in Ferrara, for patients that have limited mobility (read more below on this page).
#FFFEXPERIENCE is also in the form of a weekly or daily festival Pass for the general audience and for filmmakers.
