Legitimacy ScoreOverview
Written by Script & Film Festival is a Rome-based Italian festival devoted entirely to screenwriting for audiovisual works, especially already-produced short films. It is notable for awarding screenplay elements such as best script, subject, dialogue, and plot rather than traditional directing or technical prizes, and for combining screenings with talks, pitching, and professional networking. The festival has growing significance as a rare Italian event centered on writers and narrative craft, with support from major industry organizations and a focus on emerging and established screenwriters.
