Imagine strolling through Rome’s historic center when you stumble upon an extraordinary gathering of international filmmakers, critics, and cinema lovers celebrating the finest in independent filmmaking — not another crowded tourist attraction. From June 12-14, From Home to Rome is thrilled to be endorsing exactly such an event: the Rome Prisma Film Awards!

Thanks to an event that is not simply another festival, you too will have the chance to be part of Rome’s thriving cultural renaissance and experience the authentic creative spirit that makes this city truly magical.

The Rome Prisma Film Awards represent far more than just a film event. Born in 2018 from the creative hub Il Varco, the festival has garnered international attention and cultivated a community of over 22,000 filmmakers hailing from over 140 countries. With over 45 events in its eight-year history, the Prisma Awards have become a global reference point for independent cinema, offering visibility and recognition to emerging talents..

From first-time travelers to return visitors to Rome, everybody is seeking uncommon experiences beyond the typical tourist trail, and this festival offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in contemporary film culture within exceptional historical venues.

 

The program unfolds across iconic locations in Rome’s historic center – the very neighborhoods where you’ll find some of From Home to Rome’s ! The legendary Cinema Farnese, Palazzo Valentini (by Piazza Venezia), the Libreria Spazio Sette bookshop, and the wine bar Verso Sera will host screenings, panel discussions, and networking moments that transform these three days into an unforgettable cultural experience.

The opening event of the Roma Prisma Film Awards is “Invelle,” the first feature film by Simone Massi, a master of Italian animation – it tells the story of three generations of an Italian family through the most dramatic pages of the last century. A work that has already conquered the Venice Film Festival and perfectly represents the festival’s spirit of artistic research.

 

Anyone who has wandered the streets of Rome knows how often it is possible to encounter film crews at work. The Eternal City has long served as the perfect setting for cinematic masterpieces, from Fellini’s films to modern Hollywood productions. Tourists are always intrigued by these scenes of cinematic life that color the capital’s streets and the Rome Prisma Film Awards knows this very well: because of this, on Saturday, June 14th, the audience will be able to participate in “Walking Through the Movies in Rome,” an educational walk from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Vittorio that retraces some of the greatest films in Italian cinema through the locations where they were shot!

For those wanting to live this unique cinematic experience, all information is available on the official website e, where you’ll also be able to secure your tickets!
