Drake Film Festival 2011


We at DFF are preparing for another fantastic festival of independent filmmaking from April 19-27, 2011 at some of Naples and Rome's best cinemas.

The Drake Independent Film Festival is committed to the independent filmmaker, giving special attention to films by first-and second-time directors, films shot with budgets under Euro 300,000, and quality films that, for whatever reason, are unlikely to receive distribution through other channels.

The Naples and Rome cinemas will be the hosts of the 2011 Drake Independent Film Festival. DFF 2011 will be the biggest festival we've had to date. Stretching over 12 days in Central Naples and Rome, DFF 2011 will showcase the best of indie filmmaking from Italy and around the world.


Submission will open soon! Be prepared!
