Unifrance was a partner, for the third year, of Nouvelle Vague sul Tevere, a festival initiated by the Palatine and Lutetia organizations to celebrate the friendship between Paris and Rome, and their twinning since 1956.
Music, encounters, and cinema were on the program for this 2025 edition, which was held from July 4 to 8, and which, as every year, brought together two simultaneous events: in Paris, Dolcevita-sur-Seine showcased Italian works, and in Rome, Nouvelle Vague sul Tevere highlighted a selection of recent French films, as well as two classic films. Laure Calamy and Rebecca Zlotowski attended the event and be on hand to chat with Italian audiences after the screening of their respective films.
French films screening:
- Eternal Playground by Pablo Cotten and Joseph Rozé
- Other People's Children by Rebecca Zlotowski
- My Donkey, My Lover & I by Caroline Vignal
- Children of Paradise by Marcel Carné (opening film)
- The Party / La Boum by Claude Pinoteau (closing film)
In Rome, Unifrance showcased its 10 to Watch 2025 through an exhibition of portraits taken by photographer Marie Rouge on the occasion of the Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris. The vernissage was held at Casa del Cinema on July 4, the venue for the film screenings.
The festivities were rounded off on July 7 at the Villa Medicis by the awards ceremony for the Ristretto Short Film Competition, organized in conjunction with La fémis and the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (CSC). The two winning films screened in the evening.
