Piazza Grande

The magnificent setting of Piazza Grande fires the imagination of filmmakers of all over the world. This enormous Renaissance square that can accommodate up to 8,000 viewers, is where every night all the many and diverse festival audiences come together to participate in the event: an exceptional occasion when directors, actors and producers come to present their latest works. Both accessible and demanding, the programming on the Piazza offers, as world or international premieres, major films that will be released over the coming months: the night-time selection alternates works for the wider audience, but made by real auteurs, with original genre films and the best of recent authored documentaries. The Piazza audience also serves as the biggest jury on the planet, since every year they vote for a very special award: the prestigious Prix du Public UBS.

The screening schedule for the Piazza Grande is available for download (PDF).
