Cinecittà shows for Heroes: screening of "Dante" with Rome's IED

Cinecittà shows is a cultural initiative that enhances the historical and architectural heritage of Cinecittà Studios, allowing people to visit the Sets and exhibition routes. As of this edition, it is a partner of Heroes International Film Festival where the full CGI short film "Dante," inspired by a fascination with set design and starring a child Dante Ferretti who discovers his talent in the Studios, will be screened on Thursday morning during the opening of the kermesse.

The short film was made by students from the European Institute of Design in Rome in an interdisciplinary thesis project. Declining cinema, its crafts and the imagery offered by Cinecittà si Mostra, offering a contemporary vision of it, was the goal of the project, which has recently entered the official storytelling tools used by the exhibition.
