Cultura Roma

The building housing the new Casa del Cinemais located inside the well known Casina delle Rose, one of the most beautiful places in Villa Borghese. It has been fully restructured and covers an area of 2,500 square metres. The core of the complex houses an oustanding Deluxe theatre with not only one of the most up-to-date sound and projection systems but state-of-the-art equipment for video projection in digital high definition, offering  satellite connection availability.

The Casa del Cinema has allocated a place for meeting and discussions. The Kodak area is equipped for maxi-screen video projections and houses conventions, debates and book presentations. There are also two exhibition halls dedicated to two famous art directors, Sergio Amidei and Cesare Zavattini; a shopping centre focusing on DVD’s, a bookshop with special attention on cinema and theatre and a pleasant cafe/restaurant called the Cinecaffè Casina delle Rose.

The daily programmes cover fixed weekly events: projections of films and documentaries, meeting film directors, art directors and actors, homage to important figures of the cinema and "cinema lessons" with some of the major personages in the movie picture world. The Azienda Speciale Palaexpò is in charge of managing the Casa del Cinema and Felice Laudadio is the art director.

Both public and private bodies have combined in offering a unique complex for the film and audiovisual industry operators as well as film lovers.
