  • Ferrara Film Festival 5 , 17-20 September 2020
  • The fifth edition of the Ferrara Film Festival opened on 17 September, in a reduced form because of Covid-19 restrictions. Only the winning films in the 13 categories were screened, together with the premiere of The Poison Rose (USA, 2019), directed by Francesco Cinquemani and George Gallo, starring John Travolta and Morgan Freeman. The version screened at the FFF was the director’s cut, with 20 minutes of previously unseen scenes filmed in Rome, and was accompanied by the presence of the director and some of the film’s cast.
    Several notable events were also on the programme, including the Golden Dragon lifetime-achievement awards presented to international star Nastassja Kinski, celebrated Italian actor Alessandro Haber and multi-award-winning director Bille August.

    Each Golden Dragon award bears the inscription “Presented by Fondazione Archivio Vittorio Cini”.

    The Ferrara Film Festival draws on prestigious partners such as the Comune di Ferrara, ASCOM, UNICEF Italia and the US Embassy in Italy. Another key element tied to the city of Ferrara is its partnership with Giovanni e Vittorio Alliata di Montereale and the Archivio Vittorio Cini.
