About the Festival
AIDFF stands as one of Europe’s leading platforms for digital and new cinema, hosting a seven-day celebration of:

- retrospectives and tributes to influential filmmakers and cinematic movements
- masterclasses, talks, and educational workshops
- artistic actions across music, visual arts, and performance
Vision & Artistic Philosophy
At the heart of AIDFF lies the intersection of art and technology. “New Cinema” reflects a transition into a new era of creative expression, where digital tools redefine cinematic language and open new artistic frontiers. The festival offers not just screenings, but a space for reflection, exchange, and artistic innovation.
In this context, the term digital is not only a technical designation but also a philosophical and aesthetic direction—a lens through which the contemporary world is interpreted and expressed. AIDFF functions as both a platform and a laboratory, fostering global dialogue and promoting cinematic diversity.
A Festival with Legacy and Vision
With over twelve years of continuous presence, AIDFF has showcased hundreds of filmmakers from around the globe, cultivating an international network of creators and thinkers. More than a film festival, AIDFF is a space for ideas, new forms, and cultural synergies. Rooted in its history yet constantly evolving, it serves as a point of reference for the cinema of the future.
