Open-air cinemas

Le Sere dei Mercanti
We have chosen to support the summer festival in Piazza Mercanti, in the heart of Milan, to breathe new life into one of the city's best-loved venues. From 1 July to 24 August, together with Anteo and the Municipality of Milan, we will bring great cinema, meetings and culture to a 250-seat open-air arena, with the aim of promoting social occasions and enhancing the area.
AriAnteo nel Cortile d'Onore di Palazzo Reale
We are promoting this historic summer open-air film festival that illuminates Milanese evenings from 3 June to 14 September with a rich and diverse programme: quality European and international films, the best of the season, previews, first screenings and events with guests.
Sotto le Stelle del Cinema
Once again this year we are at the Cineteca di Bologna's side for "Sotto le Stelle del Cinema", the event that transforms Piazza Maggiore in Bologna into an open-air cinema every summer. From 16 June to 14 August, over 50 evenings of screenings on Europe's biggest screen: art-house films, international masterpieces in original version and restored films to celebrate the great history of cinema together.

Festivals

Biografilm

We are Premium Partner of Biografilm, held in Bologna from 6 to 16 June.  In this edition we have strengthened our partnership: in addition to the ‘Best Film BPER Award|Biografilm Italia 2025’ dedicated to the best film of the Biografilm Italia section, we have also participated in Biograbook, the new cycle of literary meetings in Piazzetta Pier Paolo Pasolini, realised with publishers and independent bookshops.
Moreover, within Bio to B - the two days of the Festival dedicated to networking among audiovisual professionals - we presented the new offer dedicated to the sector concerning the valorisation of the Tax credit, thanks to the purchase of the accrued tax credit.
Premi Internazionali Flaiano
We are the main sponsor of the 52nd edition of the Flaiano International Awards, to be held in Pescara from 29 June to 6 July. The award, dedicated to the figure of Ennio Flaiano, a writer and screenwriter from Abruzzo, celebrates excellence in the fields of cinema, literature, theatre, television and radio every year.
The Flaiano Film Festival, the film section of the event, offers screenings from 29 June to 4 July, while all award ceremonies will be held on 6 July. An important cultural initiative that we are helping to support to promote the dissemination of culture and creative languages.
Ischia Film Festival
We are sponsoring the 23rd edition of the Ischia Film Festival, scheduled from 28 June to 5 July 2025 in the splendid setting of the Castello Aragonese. The festival celebrates the link between cinema and territory, with films from over 50 countries. The 2025 edition delves into themes such as sustainability, enhancement of Made in Italy and civil commitment, with sections on international short films and ‘Location Negata’, dedicated to human rights and suburbs. Among the guests, the director Christopher Nolan, awarded with the Foreign Award. For us, supporting this event means promoting culture as a lever for growth, through stories that speak of places, identity and the future.
Thanks to the collaboration with Ischia Film Festival, BPER account holders can purchase tickets online at a discounted price. You can request the discount code at the branch and enter it in the ‘Promotional code’ section when you buy on ischiafilmfestival.it. Each film has a ‘Book tickets online’ button to use the code.
Marateale – Premio Internazionale Basilicata
We are sponsors of Marateale - Premio Internazionale Basilicata, one of the most eagerly awaited events of the Lucanian summer, scheduled to take place in Maratea from 22 to 26 July.
The festival celebrates Italian and international cinema with screenings, master classes, and awards such as the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Green Award, dedicated to environmental issues. We are particularly committed to supporting Marateale in School, the section aimed at students, and Marateale in Short, dedicated to short films. An initiative that combines entertainment, culture and education, enhancing cinema as a tool for growth, reflection and the discovery of new talents.
Baaria Film Festival
We are sponsors of the Baarìa Film Festival 2025, an international festival dedicated to the cinematography of the world's islands, with the aim of narrating the cultural richness of island territories through cinema.
The festival takes place from 2 to 6 July in Bagheria, a city that symbolises identity and tradition, and offers screenings, meetings, and cultural exchanges.
For us, supporting this initiative means enhancing not only auteur cinema, but also local communities, young talents and dialogue between cultures, in one of the most evocative and authentic places in Sicily.
