We did it together!

Cinema Italian Style '25 is now a B E A U T I F U L memory...

It takes a village. From November 12 to 16 Cinema Italian Style showcased 11 critically acclaimed Italian films at Seattle's SIFF Cinema Uptown theater. This year's film festival brought together film lovers, cultural institutions, and the Italian American community in a shared passion for cinema and culture. From opening night's intriguing film Paternal Leave to closing night's emotional Napoli - New York, plus all the wonderful selections in between - including Familia, Italy's Oscar nomination in the Best International Feature Film category...this year's line up did not disappoint!

Seattle Perugia Sister City Association, together with Il Punto, and with the support of Istituto Italiano di Cultura di San Francisco, the Department of French and Italian Studies at the University of Washington, and the Italian Consulate in San Francisco, are thrilled to have been able to make these 11 remarkable films available to our Italian film-loving community.

To our generous individual donors and corporate sponsors we say "GRAZIE MILLE! L'UNIONE FA LA FORZA". It is because of you that we were able to bring the best of contemporary Italian cinema to Seattle. We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!
