Heroes 2026 – Activities for Academies and High Schools
HEROES INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL is dedicated to the connections between cinema, storytelling, the visual arts, and digital and sound effects.
The 7th edition of Heroes is scheduled for October 1–2, 2026, at Romics, Pavilion 8, Fiera Roma, Via Portuense 1645–1647.
Heroes IFF offers activities tailored for academies, universities, and 11th and 12th-grade classes at high schools.
This edition will focus on emerging professions in the visual and audiovisual arts, featuring:
- MASTERCLASSES WITH ITALIAN AND INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONALS AND ARTISTS (in Italian and English—with visuals, no translation).
