Milan FFI
Emerging or unverified festival
Milan FFI refers to Milan’s independent film-festival scene, most notably the long-running Milano Film Festival, which began in 1996 and became a major citywide showcase for art-house, independent, and emerging cinema. It is notable for presenting international short and feature films, supporting young authors and newcomers, and pairing screenings with master classes, workshops, and industry events that make it an important platform in the Italian and international festival circuit.[2][4][6]
