History and guests
The Lucca Film Festival was created in 2005 by Nicola Borrelli,[18][19] at the time a 21-year-old near-graduate student of the Faculty of Literature and Philosophy at University of Bologna. Nicola immediately involves his parents Marco Borrelli and Rosita Pieroni, together with his friends Stefano Giorgi,[20] Alessandro De Francesco, Andrea Bernardini, Andrea Monti, Philippe Dijon de Monteton and Andrea Puccini (he passed away in 2006) who will later be joined by Luca Peretti, Luca Modena, Federico Salvetti, Nicolas Condemi, Stefano Giuntini, Cristina Puccinelli, Simone Gialdini, Rachel Pollastrini, Laura Da Prato and many others. They create the VI(S)TA NOVA cultural association which is constantly animated by the voluntary work of many of its members and by many other volunteers, university interns and high school students. The Lucca Film Festival brand was finally created and registered, and later renewed in 2019, and Mrs. Rosita Pieroni is the only owner.
In 2005 the association, which has always been led by Nicola Borrelli, received its first support by Banca Toscana, by the Municipality of Lucca, by the Province of Lucca and by Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio, which in 2013 finally became the principal and most important supporter of the event. In 2006 Fondazione Banca del Monte di Lucca and even some private citizens, such as the event organizer Andrea Colombini, also joined as financiers. Today the Festival is supported by numerous local and international institutions.
Thanks to a few tens of thousands of euros per year, the Artistic Direction has proposed a selection of film screenings, with a particular attention to the great masters of experimental cinema. The goal was to support multidisciplinary activities, aimed at the contamination of cinema through other forms of art, alongside the regular scheduling of film screenings and meetings.
In just a few years the Festival could name, among its guests, experimental directors and artists such as Kenneth Anger (2006), Michael Snow (2007), Jonas Mekas (2008), Christian Lebrat (2008) and Robert Cahen (2009), Boris Lehman (2011), Philippe Garrel (2012). Thanks to the collaboration of some of these artists, it was possible to organize exhibitions (Snow, Mekas, Cahen), all Italian premieres, set up at the Fondazione Ragghianti of Lucca and produced by the Fondazione itself together with the Festival. A fourth exhibition was created together with Christian Lebrat, honored in 2008 with a series of installations and screenings inside the Ex Manifattura Tabacchi in Lucca. During these years, the Artistic Direction was able to organize a festival schedule characterized by the union of international arthouse cinema – such as Abel Ferrara hosted in 2010 – and the fundamental contamination of experimental research.[21]
Experimentation is a core value for the Festival, which explores it through various projects, some of which have allowed to re-discover and re-affirm the life story of artists and pioneers of experimental cinema. For example, in 2007, the President, together with some members of the association and thanks to the support of university researchers Pia Bolognesi and Giulio Bursi, launched a research project dedicated to the works of Aldo Tambellini. Tambellini, who came from Lucca, but left Italy for the United States after World War II, became one of the masters of artistic experimentation during the 60s, 70s and 80s, even teaching and collaborating with the IMT of Boston. That same year the Festival set up an exhibition dedicated to his paintings, poems and short films and he came back to Lucca to reunite with his fellow citizens for the first time since his childhood.
This path of re-discovery reached its peak after a couple of years with the exhibition at the Tate Modern Museum of London.[22]
The feedback from both audience and press, which reached its peak between 2005 and 2012, has convinced more and more sponsors to support the Festival, as is the case with the essential collaborations that started with the Region of Tuscany.
Thanks to Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio of Lucca, for the first time the Artistic Direction obtained the right resources to make the 2013 edition[23] of the festival and involve a great author of the history of cinema: Peter Greenaway.[24] A collaboration was born featuring the original production of 35 minutes of architectural cinema made by the Welsh director for the Festival and for the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio. The video, titled “The Towers | Lucca Hubris”[25] was shot in studio in Lucca, in collaboration with theater and dance company Aldes of Porcari, Lucca, with Italian actors and dancers, and was finally screened during two nights of the Lucca Film Festival on the front of the church of San Francesco, which had just been restored by the Fondazione itself. A complete recording of one of the two screenings is available at following link (password: greenaway).
Thanks to the collaboration between Greenaway and the Festival, the script for “Lucca Mortis”,[26] starring Morgan Freeman, was also created. The Festival is supporting its production and, if it finally gets in the works, that could forever change the perception of Lucca around the world.
In 2013 the Festival tried to widen its horizons, choosing new and specific sponsors, also through performative and multidisciplinary activities, which led to the creation of the event called Lucca Effetto Cinema.[27][28] Stefano Giuntini and Cristina Puccinelli, inspired by Beniamino Placido’s book by the same name, created this new event in collaboration with Confcommercio of Lucca and Massa Carrara and with Centro Commerciale Naturale. The event paid homage to nine great films through theater and dance theater performances, scenic settings, costumes and by actively involving the audience.
In 2014, after partnering with specific sponsors, the sector “Mostre del Festival” (“Festival Exhibitions”) was created, and two exhibitions were set up with photographic and lithographic works by David Lynch, premiering in Italy. The same more resources were invested on contents and projects tied to the theme of “Cinema and Music”. A first occasion for the realization of a project of high international level on this topic was the concert with music by Angelo Badalamenti,[29] which, for the occasion, was played by the symphonic orchestra of the Conservatory Luigi Boccherini,[30] conducted by Maestro GianPaolo Mazzoli. The concert was held inside the church of San Francesco, attended by David Lynch. Since 2014, it became a recurrent event to pay homage to all the great masters of cinema and guests of the Festival who are usually given a lifetime achievement award.
New collaborations were activated over time with important cultural institutions of the province, such as the one created during the 2014 edition with the Fondazione Giacomo Puccini of Lucca. For the occasion an award was created (“Onorificenza dalla Fondazione Puccini per la promozione del Maestro nel mondo”, “Award by the Fondazione Puccini for the promotion of the Maestro around the world”) to hand every year to one or more of the great authors and guests of the Festival who stood out for the promotion and valorization of the renowned composer from Lucca. In the 2014 edition, the award was given to David Lynch.
The Festival shifted from September to spring to have bigger audience and impact on the sector. At the beginning of 2015 the partnership between Lucca Film Festival and Europa Cinema was formed, the historic cinema festival of Viareggio, founded by Felice Laudadio and Federico Fellini in 1984 that slowly lost support due to the administrative difficulties faced by the Municipality of Viareggio. On January 28th 2015, a first memorandum of understanding was signed with the Municipality of Viareggio, which granted the cultural Association VI(S)TA NOVA the organization of Europa Cinema for three years. The Festival accordingly changed its own name, becoming “Lucca Film Festival e Europa Cinema”.
In 2015 they organized an exclusive project involving simultaneous activities between Lucca and Viareggio,[31][32] with guests such as David Cronenberg, Jeremy Irons, Terry Gilliam, Alfonso Cuarón and Matteo Garrone. In the same year, the exhibition sector saw an increase in investments, with five events dedicated to David Cronenberg,[33] and the Festival started a collaboration with Comitato Nuovi Eventi per Lucca (New Events for Lucca Committee) which, coordinating with the in-house exhibition department, became producer and organizer of these events. The same year Main Performances were added to the program (with production by Fondazione Giacomo Puccini and Fondazione Giuseppe Lazzareschi) and the creation of a Main Event, created in collaboration with director Terry Gilliam. The event involves all the venues located in the square and more than 150 local performers: it’s the “Terry Gilliam’s Movie Circus”.[34]
The theme “Cinema and Music” became reality that same year thanks to an orchestral symphonic concert with music by Howard Shore written for David Cronenberg, but also through an important didactic project started in autumn: the first edition of the M.A.I. Master (Music Applied to Image). The master’s degree, organized by the Conservatory Luigi Boccherini in Lucca together with the Festival, was the first course of its kind in Italy and continues to be a formative excellence at national level.
The 2016 edition saw the participation of great artists such as George Romero, William Friedkin, Paolo Sorrentino[35] and Marco Bellocchio. The Festival widened its horizons and this edition also involved the city of Barga, which hosted an exhibition dedicated to writer and director Gualtiero Jacopetti,[36] who is from Barga himself, author of the famous documentary “Mondo Cane” from the 60s. The 2016 edition also welcomed the creation of the Feature Film Competition, with 12 films in Italian or European premiere coming from all around the world, along with the section for Out of Competition Italian premieres, inaugurated with three movies presented both in Lucca and Viareggio, among which there was the world premiere of the new film by Ruggero Deodato.[37] The involvement of great authors in the planning and supervision of part of the Festival kept going also for the 2016 edition, as shown by the curatorship by George Romero for the production of the Zombie Citadel dedicated to him. In addition, a first experimental edition of the Festival in Viareggio was planned as a cinema-themed opening party[38] and held at a renowned club in the passeggiata, one of the most popular streets of the city. A new aspect that characterized the 2016 edition was the inauguration of a section dedicated to audiovisual products realized with the innovative 360-degree video technology. The Festival’s focus on this new technological and linguistic frontier began by developing a collaboration with the Festival della Didattica Digitale (Digital Education Festival), and became reality with the joint production of the first short documentary about Lucca shot in 360°.
One essential change that marked the transition from 2015 to 2016 was the Festival’s commitment to producing and co-producing audiovisual projects. In 2016, the documentary “Puccini by William Friedkin” was co-produced with the Fondazione Giacomo Puccini, with the American Oscar winner as protagonist. The full documentary is available at the following link.
A production for a documentary about Zeffirino Poli also started that same year. Poli was a figurine seller from Coreglia Antelminelli, located in the province of Lucca, who emigrated to New Haven and became one of the pioneers of the birth of cinema and of the American independent film industry. The documentary, “Mister Wonderland” was supported and co-produced by the Region of Tuscany, Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio of Lucca, Associazione Lucchesi nel mondo and Fondazione Paolo Cresci, and presented in world premiere inside the Festival dei Popoli’s competition in 2019, where it won the “Il Cinemino” Award.[39]
In 2016, the “Cinema and Music” section hosted a special project titled “Cinemagic”,[40] described in the presentation of the 2016 program. It also involves some students from the M.A.I. Master in the production of the Cinemagic show. Furthermore, M.A.I. Master student Stefano Teani carried out his post-master’s degree internship at the Festival with the composition of an original score for the documentary “Puccini by William Friedkin”[41] and the execution of Giacomo Puccini’s music for the same project.
In 2017 the Festival set up its first Red Carpet in the evocative location of Piazza del Giglio and many were the artists who walked it, such as Oliver Stone, Willem Dafoe, Sergio Castellitto and Valeria Golino. Music was the key element of a live concert for the screening of Yasujiro Ozu’s masterpiece “A Story of Floating Weeds” (1934), in collaboration with Istituto Luigi Boccherini of Lucca and Maxxi Museum of Rome. The execution of the original score, co-written by Maestro Fulvio Pietramala and Maestro GianPaolo Mazzoli, called for a chamber orchestra and was performed keeping in mind pentatonic scales from the Japanese tradition, to get oriental suggestions and sonorities also through original instruments.[42] The film was shown on the first day of the Festival on the front of Teatro del Giglio and the institute ensemble, conducted by Maestro Mazzoli, played for the occasion. The event, during the same edition presented seven out-of-competition films as Italian or European premieres. Among these, there were the European premiere for “The Headhunter’s Calling” directed by Mark Williams, with an introduction by Willem Dafoe, but also the Italian premiere for “The Other Side of Hope” by Aki Kaurismäki and “Personal Shopper” by Olivier Assays, also attended by the director himself. In the same year, the Festival started showing interest for TV shows as well, and began a collaboration with Sky Atlantic. That is why David Lynch came back to the Festival, to be a part of this new change presenting the first two episodes of “Twin Peaks 3” as Italian premiere[43][44] after those of Los Angeles and Cannes. During this year a two-year collaboration was formed with Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (Experimental Film Center). The Festival and the Centro Sperimentale organized the first exhibition in honor of Federico Fellini and his much desired, never shot film, “Il viaggio di Mastorna” with 50 boards inspired by Fellini’s writings.
In 2017, the Festival enlarged its audiovisual production activities too and began working on a documentary about Lucca painter Antonio Possenti, who had passed away in 2016. The production of the documentary, titled “Storie di Altromare – Omaggio ad Antonio Possenti”[45] ended the following year and premiered globally during the 2018 edition. The Lucca Effetto Cinema section[46] grew bigger and bigger year after year and, during this edition, two new awards were instituted, one for Best Production Design and one for Best Performance.
The 2019 edition, as the Festival kept focusing on the Feature Film Competition[47] with Italian or European premieres, saw prestigious jury members, like Rutger Hauer and Philip Gröning.
Just as important are the Out of Competition[48] Italian premieres. The 2018 and 2019 editions saw the participation of actors and filmmakers such as Rupert Everett and Martin Freeman, Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Michel Ocelot and Rutger Hauer.
In 2018 the Festival entered the international “Film for our Future Network”[49][50] dedicated to spreading and promoting themes from the 17 goals inside the 2030 UN Agenda.[51] Each year the Festival organizes screenings and masterclasses tackling these topics and it actively contributes to the activities planned by the other festivals participating in the network during the year.
Following the 2030 UN goals, in 2019 the Festival partnered with Fondazione Robert F. Kennedy Italia focusing on the topic of human rights by planning a specific program dedicated to Europa Cinema and Viareggio,
Another important international partnership was created with ICTF/UNESCO during this edition. This allowed the Festival and Alfonso Cuarón to hand the prestigious Fellini Medal to Maestro Paolo Taviani,[52] who came back as guest to the Festival a year after the passing of his brother Vittorio.
Thanks to the support of a new call financed by the Region and MiBACT (Ministero dei Beni delle Attività Culturali e del Turismo, Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism), the Festival managed to widen its horizons by planning activities for the city of Pisa as well. For the occasion, they organized masterclasses and film screenings with international authors, collaborating with Manifattura Digitale di Pisa and the Arsenale Cinema.
The Festival’s inclusive vocation allowed the creation of an online version of part of the event consisting of online film screenings and live streams for the first time ever in 2020. Thanks to the collaboration with Più Compagnia,[53][54] the virtual movie theater for La Compagnia di Fondazione Sistema Toscana,[55] the competing feature and short-length films were screened online during the Festival.[56] Despite the health crisis, this choice drew the attention of an eclectic audience, diverse in origin and belonging to the world of media, including professionals of the national and international audiovisual industry. For the first time in the history of the Festival, the activities from the educational section were carried out through a series of virtual meetings and streams (live or on demand), specifically created for the participating classes. The films were always available on demand to all students for the whole duration of the Festival, to be watched before or after the meetings with experts from the film industry and also outside school hours. Every single event could be attended in person or through the live stream. The 2020 edition took place at the end of September,[57] in order to find the best possible moment to offer a safe and good experience, both in person and online, and this allowed to keep hosting big international stars like Matt Dillon, Thomas Vinterberg and Lech Majewski, who all received the lifetime achievement award and were celebrated with wide retrospective events.[58][59]
The films selected for the 2021 edition at the International Short Film Competition were also presented online on the Festival Scope platform, therefore, available all around the globe, thanks to a system of virtual movie theaters with free access. The same access modality was reserved for the online film screenings for the Feature Film Competition, which was available on Mymovies.it for the whole duration of the Festival. The goal of the 2021 edition was to engage the audience as much as possible, both in person and online. All the Festival events were available on Facebook, on YouTube, on Twitch and on the Festival’s webpage at the same time.
The 2021 edition of the Festival also saw the launch of a new collaboration with a network of international film institutions and schools called Film School Network. The Festival also registered itself inside the EURASF Network European Academy of Science Film, which brings together festivals devoted to scientific subject matters. For the first time, the Festival hosted professors and students from European schools enrolled in the Film School Network in Lucca, and assigned a new award to short movies created by students. The Festival continued its collaboration with the Film For Our Future Network for the 2022 edition as well.
During the 17th edition, which took place in October 2021, the Festival paid particular and exclusive attention to the valorization and promotion of contemporary Italian film production, while also paying homage to films that marked the history of cinema. This happened, for example, with the reunion of the cast from “Mediterraneo” by Gabriele Salvatores after 30 years since the film release,[60] and with the celebration of the great Nino Manfredi for the 100th anniversary of his birth,[61] with screenings of documentaries and live events. This edition was imagined and produced in hybrid form, with completely free access, between in person and online events, in different locations of the city, with digital screenings and meetings.[62]
The 2021 edition had some memorable moments, such as he masterclass and lifetime achievement award to Russian director Aleksandr Sokurov,[63][64] the presence of actors Silvio Orlando and Alba Rohrwacher, the meetings with Lodo Guenzi (at his film debut)[65] and with filmmaker Michelangelo Frammartino (who presented his film “Il Buco”, “The Hole”[66]), and the homage to Ezio Bosso[67] and the event with Lillo in collaboration with ANEC.
In 2022 the Festival reaches its 18th edition and is once again called Lucca Film Festival, whereas the Europa Cinema and TV brand comes back to the exclusive management of the Municipality of Viareggio.

The first edition of the Lucca Film Festival took place in the areas of the Cinema Centrale and the Teatro San Girolamo from 14th to 17 September 2005. One of the milestones was an interview with Tonino De Bernardi, an experimental underground film director from Turin and a close friend of Melani's. Enrico Ghezzi, film critic, essayist, television author, and a friend of Melani's, was the first to be interviewed and to introduce the first screening of 'L'uscita dalle officine Lumière' by the Lumière brothers. The second film to open the event was ‘Roma ore 11’ directed by Giuseppe De Santis, specially chosen as the favourite film of the late Marco Melani. The first edition of the Festival was characterised by 25 screenings, debates, and conferences, also giving space to works by emerging directors (Hernan Belon, Corinna Schnitt, Corneliu Porumboiu, Jeffrey St. Jules, Lorenzo Recio, Holger Ernst, Pablo Benedetti, and Massimo Coglitore). The first edition also laid the foundations for the Festival's programming: the presence of great guests such as Spanish director Adolfo Arrieta, a focus on debate and research, the desire to promote and investigate contemporary film productions, and, finally, retrospectives focusing on a particular theme or genre, or a director or actor. | Retrospectives and tributes to the main figures of cinema scene.
