Pitch Lab – Riviera International Film Festival

This year, the European Parliament Liaison Office in Italy and the European Commission Representative Office in Italy renew their institutional partnership with the Rome Film Fest. The aim is to turn the spotlight on the European Union’s support of cultural and creative industries, thanks mainly to the Commission’s Creative Europe program, which has a total budget of € 2.44 billion for the period 2021-2027.

The MEDIA section of Creative Europe supports the film and audiovisual industries in developing, distributing and promoting European works. Further support for the sector comes from the European Parliament’s LUX Audience Award. The award celebrates European cinema and seeks to involve audiences in debates on key social issues that reflect Europe’s shared values, such as democracy, the rule of law, pluralism, and freedom of expression.

On October 26th, the Parliament and Commission have arranged a presentation of the Pitch Lab – Riviera International Film Festival 2025.
