From auteur cinema to major international productions, from world-renowned guests to the promotion of local heritage and Italian cuisine, the Sorrento Film & Food Festival confirms itself, in its fourth edition, as one of the most distinctive and original events on the Italian cultural scene. From January 2 to 6, the city of Sorrento once again transforms into an international stage capable of attracting artists, industry professionals and audiences from all over the world, fostering a continuous dialogue between images, stories and flavors.
The festival was created with the aim of bringing together different yet deeply connected languages: cinema, understood as a reflection of the present and a tool for cultural exchange, and food, an expression of identity and a symbol of Italian excellence. In this edition, the format is further strengthened thanks to a program that combines screenings, premieres, meetings with filmmakers, special events and convivial moments, creating an experience that goes beyond the simple act of watching films.
Over the past editions, the Sorrento Film & Food Festival has welcomed numerous leading figures from both international and Italian cinema, helping to build a solid and recognizable reputation. Guests who have walked the Sorrento red carpet include Academy Award winners such as Bobby Moresco, Nick Vallelonga and Gianni Quaranta, alongside major international names like Terry Gilliam, Peter Webber and Franco Nero, as well as prominent figures of the Italian scene including Lina Sastri and Enrico Vanzina. Their presence has added prestige to the festival and strengthened its international profile.
Alongside cinema, the festival places great emphasis on music and culinary arts, featuring Michelin-starred chefs and masters of Italian cuisine such as Don Alfonso Iaccarino, Nino Di Costanzo, Gennaro Esposito and Gino Sorbillo. They have transformed food into a true cultural language, capable of engaging in dialogue with the stories told on screen. This fusion makes the Sorrento Film & Food Festival a multisensory event, where every element contributes to portraying the very best of Italy.
The fourth edition thus reaffirms the festival’s vocation as a meeting place between established talents and emerging voices, between industry and creativity, between local identity and the international stage. For a few days, Sorrento becomes a privileged window onto global cinema and Italian excellence, strengthening the festival’s role as a key reference point for those looking toward the future of audiovisual culture and Italy’s identity in the world.
