Reviving the Golden Age of Cinema for a New Generation

In an era dominated by blockbuster movies and binge-worthy series, classic films are at risk of being overshadowed. Yet, their influence on culture, storytelling, and film techniques is inarguable. Our festival aims to bridge the gap between the past and present of cinema, bringing back the masterpieces that have shaped the industry. Not only do we celebrate films that have won prestigious awards like the Oscars, the Golden Lion, or the Palme d’Or, but we also introduce audiences to hidden gems from various countries that were commercially marginal yet culturally significant. By doing so, we are challenging the prevailing notion that “new equals better,” offering a fresh look at the golden years of filmmaking.

Where the Classics Compete Again

Imagine a film contest where iconic movies like “Kramer vs. Kramer,” “Apocalypse Now,” and “Alien” go head-to-head in a new competition, evaluated by a jury capable of revisiting and sometimes even overturning past awards. Accompanied by a marketplace exclusively dedicated to classic cinema, this festival offers renewed visibility to these timeless works. This unique platform caters to collectors, distributors, and cinephiles, providing a space for showcasing, discussing, and trading classic films. Be prepared to engage in debates that may challenge established cinematic verdicts, while giving forgotten masterpieces another chance to shine.

A Marketplace for the Timeless Treasures of Cinema

In today’s fast-paced entertainment landscape, classic films often remain untapped reservoirs of artistic and commercial value. Our festival seeks to change this by introducing a dedicated marketplace solely for classic and library films. This segment serves as a unique platform for distributors, producers, and film enthusiasts to engage in the trade and acquisition of these valuable works. It’s not just a stroll down memory lane; it’s a business opportunity offering immense potential for revenue and revival.

From rare pieces of cinematic history to award-winning classics that have stood the test of time, our marketplace is a hub for serious transactions and negotiations. Buyers and sellers come together in a specialized environment designed to showcase films that deserve renewed attention, either for theatrical re-release, digital archiving, or for reimagining in a contemporary context. As we integrate modern technology into the experience, including digital catalogues and interactive presentations, our goal is to modernize the way we appreciate, buy, and sell classic cinema, without losing touch with its roots.
