WHERE CINEMA MEETS INNOVATION
Ru-mòre is an independent Italian festival dedicated to contemporary and experimental cinema. It aims to promote innovation in cinematic language, short film formats, and new technologies, fostering connections between filmmakers, audiences, and the industry. Inheriting the legacy of the former Varco Film Festival founded by Andrea Gatopoulos, Ru-mòre continues to uphold its core values and passion for independent auteur cinema, with the ambition of becoming a key reference point among short film festivals.
