The Capri Hollywood International Film Festival is an annual international film festival held every late December or early January in Capri, Italy. Established in 1995, the competition section is open to international films, animation, documentaries and fiction.
The Hollywood Reporter referred to it as "the last major film festival of the year" and "a key stopping point on the road to the Academy Awards." The festival is dedicated to "establishing a bridge between the film communities of Italy and Hollywood."
History
The festival was launched in 1995 by Italian journalist Pascal Vicedomini, in association with Capri In The World Institute, a non-profit organisation founded by Vicedomini. Since then, the festival holds an annual award ceremony honouring the best in International and domestic competition. The festival is organised under the patronage of Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean. It is also supported by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism.

Previous notable honourees were Dante Ferretti, Jim Sheridan, Helen Mirren, Sophia Loren, Frank Langella, Francesco De Gregori, Brenda Blethyn, Bradley Cooper, Greta Gerwig.
Each year, more than 200 films from different countries and genres are screened at the festival.
Films that had their Italian premiere at the festival include 12 Years a Slave, Little Women, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Room, Precious, May December, among others.
