Graphilm was founded in Rome in 1988 by Maurizio Forestieri as a production studio for animated products such as TV series, feature films, video clips, and commercials. Graphilm’s productions have been selected and entered in competitions at the Festival de Cannes and at the Berlinale.

In over twenty-five years of activity, Graphilm has won both national and international prizes and acknowledgments in the animation sector’s most important official events.
