A conference stage before the audience arrives. A green screen hanging, a table with microphones, someone under the table with a cable, someone sitting on the edge of the stage.

One day for the questions, one evening for the awards.

WAIFF Napoli runs over two days within 25-27 February 2027, provisional dates. An Industry Day for people who work in film, advertising and media, and a closing night with the finalists, the awards and the gala.

The day-by-day schedule will be published soon.

Industry Day

Somewhere, in an agency or a production company, someone has to decide how to use these tools and how to talk about them. The Industry Day is for that person. It's the day the industry sits down in the same room.

Talks and discussions on how artificial intelligence is finding its way into the work of film, series, advertising and new formats.

Alongside the people who have tried it, we want the ones who got it wrong, and the ones afraid for their craft. The hard questions need a place on the programme.

Date, venue and speakers
to be announced
The coffee break of a working day, in a long sunlit foyer. Groups of people with badges talk with a cup in hand, two argue over a phone, one sits on the floor with a laptop. Far away, small, a green screen with a few empty chairs that nobody is paying attention to.

The same foyer at night, in the dark. People dressed for the evening, their backs to us, face the lit green screen at the far end. The green light edges their hair and shoulders and runs along the floor. Someone in an evening dress holds their shoes in one hand.

Closing night

The finalist films are presented to the audience, with their directors and producers.

Then the winner of each section is announced.

Then the gala and networking, because after an award nobody feels like going home.
