Cinesorriso: Two Worlds of Laughter
Cinesorriso Imperia is born, a Festival entirely dedicated to humor in cinema and new media. An event promoted by the Municipality of Imperia and the International Humor Salon Association, a historic institution that for nearly eighty years has promoted the culture of the smile in all its forms.
Cinema
Comedy as a high form of storytelling: a look at the present through irony, depth and human narrative.
New Media
The new forms of comedy born on digital platforms: contemporary languages in dialogue with cinema.
The Award Winners of Cinesorriso
