Lecco Film Fest

Cinema on Lake Como

The Lecco Film Fest is one of the youngest and most dynamic film events in Lombardy. Founded in 2020, it is promoted by Confindustria Lecco and Sondrio and organized by the Fondazione Ente dello Spettacolo, and in just a few years it has managed to build a precise identity, capable of uniting cinema, culture, business, and territory.

The Female Gaze and the Premio Lucia

A distinctive feature of the festival is its focus on the female gaze in cinema and contemporary culture. This is underscored by the Premio Lucia, a symbolic award inspired by Lucia from Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed — not coincidentally a character born in Lecco — given to women who authentically portray the female experience, made of strength, inner freedom, and awareness.

Previews, Guests, and Masterclasses

The program combines preview screenings, meetings with authors, masterclasses, and national and international guests from the world of cinema, journalism, and culture. Past editions have attracted prominent figures and thousands of spectators: the 2025 edition recorded over five thousand attendees.

A Festival of the Territory

The Lecco Film Fest takes place in various venues throughout the city center, transforming Lecco into an open-air stage overlooking Lake Como. In addition to the main events, the festival offers programs dedicated to young people on cinema and audiovisual language, confirming its educational vocation and its desire to root cinematographic culture in the Province of Lecco and the Lombardy Region.
