In 2023 we started working on a massive cleaning expedition of the 10 hectares of Villa Giuggiola, currently Conero Film + ADV’s location.
The initiative involved an entire community.
As a result Local Bizzarro was born, an entity bringing together filmmakers and artists living around the Conero area united by the common vision to create something truly special.
Conero Film + ADV (CFA) was established in 2023 to raise awareness over sustainability practices in the film and advertising industries.
It was made possible by the collaborative spirit of Local Bizzarro and MontanariPR.
During the first edition 311 films were submitted from 34 countries. 60 films were screened in front of an international Jury, with over 200 people attending the awards show, the talks and panels.

In 2024, 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.
