ICFF at Home. From the festival to your couch.
Pour the popcorn. The ICFF at Home Film Festival brings a curated lineup of contemporary Italian cinema to your living room — feature films, shorts, and bonus content streaming on demand for the duration of the festival.
The cinema doesn't have to be a place you go to. Sometimes it's a place you stay in — couch, blanket, pasta on the stove, subtitles on. — ICFF at Home
