Taormina Film Festival 2011

Taormina Film Fest, June 11-18, 2011

Italy’s principal summer film event, the Taormina Film Fest, celebrates its 57th year from June 11 to 18, 2011, against the stunning backdrop of the Teatro Antico of Taormina, one of Sicily’s most important and well-preserved monuments. The festival is a major showcase for film premières from around the world. A number of the films first screened in Taormina have been subsequently chosen to represent their countries as Oscar candidates; others have gone on to win Emmys, Golden Globes and other major awards for their directors, producers, actors and actresses.
