The Fantàsia Festival is an international cultural event inspired by the work of Michael Ende. The II edition of the event will take place from August 25 to 26 and 27 in Genzano Di Roma, the hometown of Micheal Ende for more than fifteen years, and the location of his most well-known works, Momo and The Unknown Journey.

This year a new section, FANTÀSIA SHORTS, has been added to the rich programme of the three-day event. It is aimed at established filmmakers or film school students from all over the world who have found inspiration in the literary genre of Fantasy. The festival aims to encourage young artists to get involved in this fascinating film genre.
This year, Fantàsia Shorts will take place at the 18th century romantic Sforza Cesarini park, in the ancient city of Genzano. The perfect place to combine the valorisation of the territory's artistic and historical heritage with the world of fantasy.

Since its first edition in August 2022, the Festival has brought together various artistic worlds such as literature, cinema (including the exclusive preview of 'The Adventures of Jim Bottone'), music, street art, and children's writing offering a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in three extraordinary days filled with reflection and emotional experiences connected to the human imagination and sensitivity.

The II edition, scheduled for August 25-26-27 2023, will also commemorate the 50th anniversary of the publication of Momo.

The Festival, conceptualized and organized by the Municipality of Genzano di Roma, will have institutional partnerships with the German Municipality of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the birthplace of Michael Ende, the City of Rome Capital, and the Lazio Region.
