The evocative setting of Villa Erba will host the Film Nights of the Lake Como Film Festival, now in its seventh edition. The two evenings will include feature films, short films, documentaries, animation, musical performances, virtual reality, and prestigious guests.

During the festival, drinks and snacks will be available to enjoy while watching the films on the magnificent Panorama screen, awaiting dawn in the gardens overlooking the lake.

On Friday, the star of the evening will be Free Solo, a documentary about Alex Honnold’s extraordinary ropeless climb of El Capitan in Yosemite, the first film on the subject of climbing to win the Oscar in its category.

Saturday will showcase Andy Serkis’s Mowgli, a more adult version closer to the original books on the boy from the jungle, and Apocalypse Now in Final Cut edition. The latter has been perfected by Francis Ford Coppola and will be previewed at the Festival.
