While we await the 2025 edition, Cartoon Club on the Road brings the best of animation across the region, going beyond the boundaries of the traditional Rimini-based festival.
The goal is clear: to take animated cinema where it rarely reaches—into less frequented areas, on the edges of the Riviera, far from crowded beaches and the lights of mainstream tourism.
At a time when many communities no longer have a local cinema and access to culture is increasingly concentrated in urban centers, we feel a responsibility to offer moments of collective viewing and shared cultural experiences capable of generating beauty, connection, and reflection.
We consciously choose off-route locations because we believe every community has the right to experience cinema not only as entertainment, but as a chance for encounter, growth, and mutual recognition.
Our screen opens in hills, villages, courtyards, and remote areas—where teens, families, young people, and elders can gather under the stars to watch, listen, and feel.
Because cinema—especially animated cinema—can be a bridge.
And we want to build it, where it’s needed most.
