We are excited to celebrate Italian cinema together with our partners from the Frankfurt Book Fair/THE ARTS+!
In celebration of this year's Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair, Italy, B3, in partnership with the Frankfurt Book Fair/THE ARTS+, is paying homage to the remarkable film legacy of Italian filmmakers. As part of this tribute, we are posthumously honouring Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, the famed Taviani brothers, who are among Italy’s most distinguished directors and screenwriters.
We are especially honoured that Ermanno Taviani, son of Paolo Taviani, will accept the award during the B3 Opening and Award Show at the ASTOR Film Lounge in Frankfurt on 13 October 2024 at 8 pm.
As part of the celebrations, B3 will present three of the Taviani brothers' finest films at the ASTOR Film Lounge in Frankfurt from 14 to 16 October 2024.
We thank our cooperation partner, Cinecittà, for their tremendous support.

Federico Solmi receives the B3 Honour Award in the Art category
Many years ago, we introduced Federico Solmi as an Italian artist who, in his adopted home of New York, dedicates himself to video and installation art. This is based on painting, film, and games. We described him as a methodical wanderer between media worlds in the best sense, who utilises their techniques with playful ease. We were captivated by this highly political and expressive artist with his seemingly inexhaustible energy.
Achilles
Great storytelling with impressive dialogue
We are excited to premiere Farhad Delaram's film ACHILLES as the first of our 2024 festival programme! The film takes us from Tehran to the dried-up Lake Urmia in Iran’s northwestern province of Shabestar. It is not about the mythological figure Achilles, but rather tells the story of Farid, a former filmmaker.
