CdCinema – Summer Film Festival
Quality films under the stars in the Santa Cecilia Courtyard
About CdCinema
Summer Cinema in Città di Castello
In Città di Castello, an art city in the Province of Perugia in the Upper Tiber Valley, CdCinema is the summer open-air film festival that has accompanied July evenings for over fifteen editions. The main venue is the Santa Cecilia Courtyard, a secluded and evocative space in the heart of the city, where the public gathers for screenings under the stars.
Quality Films and Meetings with Directors
Each year, the programme offers a selection of quality films, from auteur comedies to Italian and international cinema, interspersed with special evenings and meetings with directors and actors. Over the years, it has hosted directors such as Roberto Pischiutta, Andrea Magnani, and Caterina Carone, who have presented their films to the local audience.
A Travelling Festival in the Region
In recent years, CdCinema has adopted a travelling format, extending screenings to hamlets and neighbouring municipalities – from San Giustino to Trestina, from Petrelle to Badia Petroia – actively involving local communities. Organised by the association's volunteers with the support of the Municipality of Città di Castello, the festival has become a regular fixture of the Umbrian summer.
CdCinema — edition 2026
CdCinema returns for summer 2026 with its open-air film festival at the Santa Cecilia Courtyard in Città di Castello and its travelling evenings in the hamlets and municipalities of the area. The festival confirms its tried-and-tested formula: quality films under the stars, meetings with directors, and special evenings throughout July.
Currently, the precise dates and the list of films in the programme have not yet been published; the complete calendar is released each year a few weeks before the start on the official website and the festival's channels.

In past years, the festival took place in the second half of July (in 2025 from July 13th to 31st) with about a dozen screenings at the Santa Cecilia Courtyard and in the local hamlets.
