Tropheum Regale International Film Festival (2)

Festival start: 01 February 2025      Festival end: 11 January 2026

Tropheum Regale International Film Festival is an annual film festival and it gets its name from the city of Trofarello in which it is based. It is said that Trofarello in Celtic means “trophy”, probably in honour of a warrior of some success.

For many years now, we are in the film industry and understand the defies each filmmaker face when trying to realize their projects. The costs and efforts required can be prohibitive, so our festival aims to support independent filmmaking.
