Rome Refuses to Call Its Film Festival a Festival

Rome rolls out one of the largest red carpets in the world. One word on the poster tells you who it is for.

1 · The word

A festa, not a festival

Founded in 2006 as a festa, a party. Renamed a festival for a while. In 2015, Rome changed it back.

2 · The public

The audience is the star

Most events are for ordinary ticket buyers, many are free, and the audience votes on films itself.

3 · The crowd

Straight from work

Along the carpet at the Auditorium, many people have tickets too, and no time to go home and change.

4 · The payoff

One piece that sparkles

Ordinary clothes plus one thing for the evening: a sequin skirt with a plain blouse. Everything else quiet.

Sequins for a Saturday matinee, not just New Year's Eve.
