Lucca Film Festival

The Lucca Film Festival (LFF) is a film festival in Italy. It was founded in 2005 by the “Vista Nova” organization.

Purpose

Its purpose was to offer its audience a new approach to cinema; to promote a cinematographic culture made of a plurality of sights, styles and perspectives; and, most of all, to introduce attendees to a new sensory and intellectual experience. Throughout the years, the Lucca Film Festival has dealt with the various contrasts of today’s cinema: avant-garde, experimental and mainstream. Attendees to the LFF have included important directors, actors and international artists.

Short-film competition

The festival hosts a competition among 500 works from around the world and selected by some of the most important international festivals. The competition includes 4 sections: Fiction, Documentary, Experimental and Animation. The final selection is judged by a jury of international experts.
