Overview

Il Festival Internazionale del Cinema di Salerno è uno dei festival cinematografici più longevi d’Italia, fondato nel 1946 e svolto quasi ininterrottamente a Salerno. È una rassegna competitiva che presenta lungometraggi, cortometraggi, documentari e animazione da Italia e resto del mondo, con un ruolo storico nella diffusione del cinema e, in origine, del cinema a passo ridotto. È noto anche per la sua apertura a sezioni tematiche e sperimentali, oltre a rassegne, retrospettive e attività collaterali che ne rafforzano il profilo nel circuito festivaliero italiano e internazionale.
