In 2023, we launched a monumental cleaning expedition in the Conero Natural Park, across the 10 hectares of Villa Giuggiola, the home of Conero Film + ADV for 2023 and 2024.
This initiative brought an entire community together, fostering collaboration and connection.
Out of this effort, Local Bizzarro was born — a non-profit organisation and creative production company made up of directors and artists from the Conero area. United by years of experience in the international creative industry and a shared vision, they work to create something truly unique for their region.
Conero Film + ADV (CFA) was established in 2023 to champion sustainability practices in the film and advertising industries. This initiative was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Local Bizzarro team and MontanariPR.
In its first edition, CFA received 311 film submissions. The second edition saw an impressive growth, with over 800 submissions. From these, 60 films were selected for screening, and 20 productions were honored as award winners across various categories.
Across its two editions, Conero Film + ADV has welcomed over 400 attendees to its awards shows, talks, and panels. But CFA isn’t about quantity—it’s about fostering meaningful connections. By capping attendance at a maximum of 200 guests per edition, we ensure an intimate atmosphere where everyone gets to know each other.
With our next edition inn 2025, Conero Film + ADV continues its efforts to promote sustainability practices within the film and advertising sectors. Sustainability towards:
The Environment
through a more conscious approach to production and through narratives that focus on environmental or social issues;
Human Nature
achieved through a collaborative spirit between brands and filmmakers, with the potential to create meaningful and far-reaching audiovisual content.
