The film festival where cinema and biology were born

PIANETA MARE FILM FESTIVAL

The Pianeta Mare Film Festival was born on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the foundation of the Zoological Station of Naples, created by Anton Dohrn in 1872.

While Dorhn laid the foundations for modern marine biology, Étienne Marey, also in Naples, perfected those techniques that made the birth of cinema possible.

The aim of the festival is to collect this incredible historical heritage and bring it to life through the new tools of our technology.
