Working steadily to promote cinema culture

One of the most important aims of Bergamo Film Meeting is the presentation of films that can then be bought for circulation in Italy, either on the cultural or commercial circuit. This is an important achievement for the Association, a constant commitment that makes Bergamo Film Meeting an avant-garde Festival both in the national and international field.

For this reason the activities of the Association follow the course of the year with initiatives that aim at supporting the distribution of the independent cinema, of films from little known cultures or restored classics. This is the reason why it cooperates with institutions, such as F.I.C.-Federazione Italiana Cineforum and Lab80 Film, that have been working in this direction for years. Sharing resources, professional skills and technical means, allows the Meeting to distribute films on the Italian circuit, constituted by film societies and clubs, cinema associations, public administration councils, schools, universities, foundations and cultural institutes. All this entails a widespread network, covering the whole national territory.


Bergamo Film Meeting does not just organize the March film festival. It keeps on working the whole year in order to promote cinema culture and to launch some of the films presented during the Festival on other circuits.

In 2007, with the collaboration of Bergamo Film Meeting, 4 masterpieces of Billy Wilder have been re-printed from restored negatives, subtitled and will circulate in Italy.
