Cinema Italian Style Film Festival

Cinema Italian Style 

Now in its 18th year, Cinema Italian Style Festival is ongoing in Seattle, bringing a vibrant selection of acclaimed films never presented before, special guests from Italy, and some of the most exciting new works in contemporary Italian cinema.

Previously presented by SIFF, Cinema Italian Style Festival 2025 was presented by Seattle Perugia Sister City Association and Il Punto, with the support of many Seattle organizations and business partners from the Italian and Italian American communities.
The 2026 edition is now planned for November 2026.

Cinema Italian Style offers something for everyone – from dramas and comedies to a western. The November time frame gives organizers access to the latest films that played in September at the Venice International Film Festival, or were recently released for Oscar consideration.

“We are so pleased we can continue to showcase this historic film festival in Seattle highlighting Italian cinema, where beauty, passion, and storytelling meet. Thank you to our supporters and community, we look forward to seeing you at Cinema Italian Style.” Says Elisabetta Valentini, Honorary Consul of Italy in Seattle.
