The Shawna Foundation presents the Scandriglia Film Festival in honor of Massimiliano Scacchi.
Massimiliano was a wonderful husband, father and neighbor. He was also a visionary who created a display along Scandriglia’s Via Entroterra of old farming tools and machines from the rural civilization’s history.
There are over a hundred pieces that can be dated from the end of the nineteenth century to the 1950s, when agricultural mechanization began. Along with the display of the old tools, lights stream throughout Entroterra as ambient music accompanies the path.
Massimiliano also created and has on display a beautiful and intricate presepe (nativity in miniature) for the Christmas season. He created all this because of his love for Scandriglia and it was his way to help rebuild the historic center of his town.
It was all of this that drew the Shawna Foundation’s President of the Board of Directors, Anna Chinappi, and Executive Director, Skip Shea to Scandriglia, where they quickly became friends with Massimiliano, his wife Emanuela Torri and his wonderful family. And very soon, they learned of his love for cinema, which is why a decision to create a film festival there is an easy one and the best way to honor him.
Scandriglia is a 15th Century medieval hilltop village surrounded by the hills of Sabina where you will discover some of the best olive oil in all of the world.
It’s a beautiful and unspoiled historic rural mountain community, but only a 40-minute drive to Rome—the best of all worlds.
The festival will take place at the Teatro Sant'Antonio in the historic center of Scandriglia.
The Women's and Diversity Film Festival (FESTMYD), funded by the Audiovisual Promotion Fund through the Festival Programming modality with regional showcases in the 2025 call of the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage, will celebrate its fifth edition this year.

This year, FESTMYD will take place in person in the regions of Coquimbo and Valparaíso, connecting movie theaters, cultural centers, educational institutions, social organizations, and film and audiovisual schools.
Vertical Shorts Festival is the first international film festival dedicated exclusively to vertical filmmaking (9:16 aspect ratio) — a bold and modern format reshaping how stories are told and experienced. We celebrate creators who embrace the mobile-first world and use vertical video not as a constraint, but as a canvas for innovation.
Whether it’s a gripping drama, a supernatural thriller, a heartfelt romance, or a daring documentary, we’re looking for bold voices and fresh perspectives across genres — as long as they’re vertical.
Our mission is to spotlight emerging and established filmmakers who are pushing visual storytelling forward. We welcome smartphone filmmakers, experimental creators, and anyone exploring this unique format with purpose, passion, and cinematic craft.
Join us and be part of a new movement in cinema — where your vertical vision takes center stage.
