Going to the Ischia Global Film & Music Fest 2017

Ischia Global Film & Music Fest: Cinema on the Green Island

From July 8th to 16th, Hollywood will feel a little emptier: the Ischia Global Film & Music Fest brings some of the most talented actors and directors to the island. If you love cinema, music and breathtaking sea views, this is the perfect excuse to plan your trip to the Mediterranean “capital” of film.

Perhaps you have already heard of this internationally renowned event, one of the most eagerly awaited appointments of the summer in Ischia. The 2017 edition celebrates the festival’s 15th anniversary in great style.

Why Ischia and Cinema Are a Perfect Match

The reasons behind the success and longevity of the Ischia Global Fest are rooted in the island itself. Ischia has a long and fascinating relationship with cinema: it has been a popular film set for decades and, since the 1950s, a favourite holiday destination for celebrities. Do you remember seeing Will Smith and his family on vacation in Lacco Ameno?

But there is more to it. The Ischia Global Festival carefully selects the best films among recent releases and previews, with a strong focus on quality. The programme touches on important universal themes, such as human rights, diversity and social change.

All of this is enhanced by a unique synergy with the territory: warm hospitality, relaxed island vibes and breathtaking landscapes where the magic of cinema meets the magic of nature.

The Ischia Global Fest 2017 Programme

The Ischia Global Fest 2017 programme is rich and full of big names—so much so that you may not know where to start. Here are a few highlights:
