RomaPolacchi

Festival International del Film di Roma is a week-long celebration of independent and Hollywood films. The festival is juried (there is even a kids' jury!) and celebrities and artists from all over the world attend. This year's winners are sure to cause a stir. Find out who won the coveted Golden Marcus Aurelius.

Jessica Biel was stunning in Yves Saint Laurent in Rome Monday screening her new film , Easy Virtue. The film is a remake of a 1928 Alfred Hitchcock movie based on a Noel Coward play of the same name. The movie is sure to be a hit with an excellent cast including Kristin Scott Thomas and Colin Firth.

Rome's International Film Festival is happening right now. Stars from all over the world, like Al Pacino (who received the Marc'Aurelio Acting Award ) and Willem Defoe have descended upon Rome to premier new films and participate in what has been a major cinematic event in the past. This year's festivities are a little subdued, as Rome's mayor tried to withdraw funding (La Notte Bianca suffered a similar fate this year). You can attend the films as well-in fact, the festival offers a great deal- three movies for 12 Euros. The celebration continues through October 31st.
