The festival has been inaugurated and will run until October 25th. Tonight features the opening film 'The Noise of New Things' and two special awards.
The 21st edition of the Rome Film Festival was inaugurated today, Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at the Auditorium Parco della Musica. The evening began with a red carpet event hosted by Ema Stokholma, followed by the screening of the opening film 'Il rumore delle cose nuove' by Paolo Genovese.
During the same evening, two important awards were presented: maestro Nicola Piovani received the Banca Ifis Music Award from director Marco Bellocchio, while London-based film producer Tessa Ross was presented with the Industry Lifetime Achievement Award by director Edward Berger.
The Rome Film Festival is an international cinematic event founded in 2006, held annually in the Italian capital. The festival has a mandate to always open with an Italian film, a tradition upheld this year following the successes of Paola Cortellesi's 'C'è ancora domani' and Riccardo Milani's 'La vita va così' in previous editions.
The artistic direction is entrusted to the duo of Paola Malanga (director) and Salvo Nastasi (president). Over 21 years, the event has evolved into a prestigious international appointment, capable of attracting Hollywood stars and honoring prominent figures in the global film industry, as evidenced by awards given to personalities such as Nicola Piovani (Oscar winner for 'Life is Beautiful') and Tessa Ross (producer of multi-award-winning films).
