La Guarimba International Film Festival

From 7 to 12 August 2026, Amantea will host the 14th edition of La Guarimba International Film Festival, the largest short film festival in Italy. Year after year, this event continues to bring cinema back to the people and the people back to cinema, with a community spirit that is open and deeply rooted in the Calabrian territory.

Not just screenings: workshops, meetings and performances will enliven the festival, transforming Amantea into a veritable open-air cultural laboratory. There will also be community lunches, guided tours of the historic centre and moments dedicated to recounting the best cultural experiences born in Calabria. At the end of the festival, the “Vitaliano Camarca” Audience Award will be presented, dedicated to the memory of another key figure in the history of the festival.
