Ortigia Film Festival is one of the most anticipated cultural events of the city of Syracuse and an important appointment among festivals in Sicily and nationally.

Since 2009 Ortigia Film Festival is organized by the cultural association Sa.Li.Ro’

A competition of first and second Italian directors’ feature films and an international competition of short films- rated by a jury of highly qualified professionals in the show business- and an hors concours international documentaries showcase but also retrospectives, previews, tributes to great filmmakers, latest film productions with an eye always kept on the latest emerging and indie film scene, exhibitions, installations, masterclasses, conversations with filmmakers and other events make

Ortigia Film FestivalAt the same time, O.F.F. channels its audience to the island of Ortygia, UNESCO World Heritage, highlighting its cultural treasures with always unexpected cultural paths- appositely pedestrianized for the event- bringing in new beauty and cultural freshness to the island’s already magical multimillenarian charme. During the festival, Ortygia becomes the ideal place to spend a week between art, free events, fun and impressive, astonishing  architectural and naturalistic beauty: an unbelievable multi-faceted, balanced cultural city parlor that made the festival record a steady growth over the years with more than 20.000 people turnout for the past edition.
