About Quiliano Cinema Award

In early June, Quiliano becomes the home of Ligurian cinema for three days with the Premio Quiliano Cinema. Screenings, meetings with directors and critics, musical previews, and special guests animate a free-admission event that tells the 'Ligurianness' of the big screen, under the artistic direction of Stefano 'Steve' Della Casa.

Home Cinema in Quiliano

In Quiliano, a town in the hinterland of the province of Savona, the Premio Quiliano Cinema is the event that celebrates cinema with a particular focus on Liguria. Organized by the Cineforum Quei Bravi Ragazzi and directed by Stefano "Steve" Della Casa, one of the most well-known critics and broadcasters in Italy, the festival is an eagerly awaited event for enthusiasts and industry professionals.

Three Days Between Cinema and Square

The festival takes place between the Nuovofilmstudio cinema hall and Piazza Costituzione, alternating screenings, musical previews, and meetings with directors, actors, and critics. The free admission formula makes the event accessible to everyone and provides an opportunity for discussion on contemporary cinema and Liguria's role in the seventh art.

Ligurianness

Each edition proposes a theme: the theme for 2026 is "Ligurianness", a reflection on Ligurian identity as told through cinema. Among the announced guests is actress Aurora Quattrocchi, a recipient of the David di Donatello award, along with directors and critics connected to the region. A small festival that, with care and expertise, brings the big screen to the Savona hinterland.
