La Città dell’Utopia International Film Festival is a Rome-based festival organized by the social lab La Città dell’Utopia in San Paolo Ostiense. It is notable for its emphasis on independent, boundary-pushing cinema and for screening shorts, documentaries, animation, and experimental films in open-air evening programs followed by discussions, making it a meeting point for filmmakers and audiences rather than a competitive, jury-led event.
