Pesaro Film Festival 2011 in Rome, Italy - A window to new cinema!

Pesaro Film Festival 2011 will be held from June 19-27, 2011, at Via Emilio Faà di Bruno, Rome, Italy. Founded in Pesaro in 1965 by Bruno Torri and Lino Miccichè, the Pesaro Film Festival is also known as the Mostra Internazionale del Nuovo Cinema. The festival has been a window to new cinema ever since its founding. This exhibition for new cinema has in the past years gathered and presented all the principal films of the Nouvelles Vagues that developed during the 60s and 70s in Western and Eastern Europe, in Latin America (cinema novo and a retrospective of Cuban films) and in Asia (with a new Japanese cinema retrospective). The festival has more recently been focused on the discovery of emerging filmmakers, spotlighting countries such as China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Iran. However, at the same time, the festival has always been keeping a careful eye on all international cinemas that offers new expressive forms and languages – from Chantal Akerman to Michael Snow. The festival attracts more than 30,000 people, including independent distributors and producers, every year. Rome, the capital of Italy, is quite accessible and well connected by leading international airlines that operate direct, nonstop flights from major cities around the world.

Italy’s flag carrier Alitalia offers the most nonstop flights. Besides Alitalia, travelers from the US need to check out multiple travel websites and compare airline prices to get the best flight deals on their tickets.
