Rome Film Fest 2026

The 21st Rome Film Fest runs from 13 to 25 October 2026 - thirteen days, not the long weekend the name suggests. The Auditorium Parco della Musica carries most of the programme, and a separate strand, The Fest at Teatro Palladium, runs from 19 to 23 October. The festival is already under way, so what is left of the 2026 edition is its second week.

The 21st Rome Film Fest runs 13 to 25 October 2026 - thirteen days, not a long weekend. Most of it sits at the Auditorium Parco della Musica, with a separate strand, The Fest at Teatro Palladium, on 19 to 23 October. The programme is divided into Progressive Cinema, Freestyle, Grand Public, Proiezioni Speciali, Best Of 2026 and Storia del Cinema.

Two addresses carry the festival. The Auditorium Parco della Musica holds the bulk of the programme across the full 13 days, and the Teatro Palladium runs its own strand from 19 to 23 October, with tickets sold at the Palladium box office in the evening. The festival does not publish a pass price on that page.
