From November 12-16, 2025, CIS will showcase 10 critically acclaimed Italian films at a premier SIFF location.
This week-long celebration brings together film lovers, cultural institutions, and the Italian American community in a shared passion for cinema and culture. 

Il Punto, together with the Seattle-Perugia Sister City Association, and with the support of Istituto Italiano di Cultura, the Department of Italian Studies at the University of Washington, and the Italian Consulate of San Francisco, are working towards repeating the success of previous editions and organize the 2025 Festival. 

To support the initiative we are currently reaching out to the community for donations and sponsorships. 
These donations help bring the best of contemporary Italian cinema to Seattle. Contributions support essential costs like film licensing, venue rental, technical services, and community outreach.

Grazie mille for helping us celebrate Italian culture through film!
