History: Detour had been active in the alternative cinematic scene in Rome since early 2009 and counting more than 13,000 regular members in our mailing list. Detour project is the fruit of passion for cinema of young university students, which Fulfilled their self own potential and good will, in forming a group of people which brought this project to life. Our cinema club aimed all 2009 to be an alternative screening spot, a place where one can appreciate the works and art of independent filmmakers and can share our passion for film, we present new styles and various film genre
Detour is an open space for creativity and ideas, our motto is “land of no one and land for everyone”.
It’s not by chance that “Detour” it’s the first one to appear in the Italian google motor search by writing “cineclub”. All those years we have maintained an independent free spirit and close personal relations with our viewers and collaborators, our cineclub is more of a gathering place than the usual screening hall; we believe that an open dialogue with our audience is the essential characteristics of our venue, this is a place where there are no barriers between the artist and the audience, our aim is to bring the viewer a step further in the understanding of the film language and help exposing the audience to different faces of filmmaking and cinema.
