Capri, Hollywood - The International Film Festival
The festival bridging Italian cinema and Hollywood on the Blue Island
About Capri, Hollywood
A festival between Capri and Hollywood
Capri, Hollywood - The International Film Festival is one of the longest-running and most prestigious film festivals in Southern Italy. Established in 1995 by journalist and producer Pascal Vicedomini and the Capri in the World Institute, the event takes place every year on the island of Capri, in the heart of the Gulf of Naples, Campania, spanning the turn of the year. Its mission is to build a cultural bridge between Italian and international cinema, with a special focus on the world of Hollywood.
Venues: Capri and Anacapri
Screenings and events are split between the island's two municipalities: the Capri Auditorium (formerly Cinema Nazionale) and the Cinema Paradiso in Anacapri. Each year, over two hundred films from around the globe are presented, including premieres, documentaries, animated works, and independent productions. Many screenings are also accompanied by online sessions on partner platforms, reaching a much wider audience beyond those present on the island.
The Capri Awards and special guests
The most anticipated moment is the presentation of the Capri Awards, which honor the season's best films, directors, and actors each winter, having become a true barometer for the Oscars race over the years. The festival is renowned for its tributes to cinema icons and the presence of Italian and international stars who gather on the Blue Island for red carpets, masterclasses, and public Q&A sessions.
A locally supported event
The festival is promoted by the Capri in the World Institute with the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Campania Region, alongside collaborations with major private partners. More than just a series of screenings, Capri, Hollywood is an appointment that weaves together cinema, music, television, and art, drawing the world's attention to one of the Mediterranean's most iconic islands at the end of each year.
