cinemagia cinema damare ()

Festival Start: 18 September 2025      Festival Ende: 20 September 2025

From September 18 to 20, 2025, Miramare Castle in Maccarese will host the fourth edition of Cinemagia - cinema damare, an international outdoor film festival dedicated to independent productions. The program includes a selection of films, documentaries, short films, and web series from different countries, with the aim of promoting new authors and encouraging the spread of innovative languages.

The seaside location gives the festival a distinctive character: the screenings take place in an evocative and accessible setting, capable of attracting a diverse audience and, in particular, the younger generations, who are invited to enjoy a cultural experience outside the conventional channels.

Cinemagia - cinema damare is therefore a cultural event that combines the international scope of independent cinema with a participatory formula, strengthening the dialogue between authors and audiences and making a significant contribution to the promotion of new forms of expression.
