'Onward - Beyond the magic', the animation film by the creators of Toy Story 4, with the two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary adventure to find out if there is still some magic in the world will be in Italian theaters on July 22nd ... (ANSA)


The title 'Onward - Beyond magic' was unconsciously prophetic: we dream big, we return to wonder at the seventh big screen format art. Of course it is just a coincidence that the title of the animated film is ideally connected to the return of the cinema to the post lockdown room but so it is: Disney has announced that the film with the two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary adventure to find out if in the world exists some more magic will be in Italian theaters on July 22nd. It will be the title that launches the heart beyond the Covid-19 obstacle. "A very important signal" says ANA Luigi Lonigro, president of the Anica distributors section and director of 01 Distribution "to all the other distributors and exhibitors". It is not yet the turning point: it is the international day and date (i.e. the contemporary releases) to move the market and for this reason we hope in Christopher Nolan's Tenet and in Mulan (currently in the world on July respectively 15 and 29, judged period unlikely by all analysts), but it is still a good step forward. The day turns beautiful: it began with the signature of the Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, Dario Franceschini, on two decrees worth a total of 120 million euros to support the entire Italian film and audiovisual chain: 20 million for cinemas , 100 for the tax credit. Two measures that strengthen the Cinema Fund and strengthen public support for cinemas and are a further use of the "Emergency cinema and entertainment fund" set up with the Dl Cura Italia with an endowment of 130 million euros and raised by the Dl Raise to 245 million euros. In this moment of transition, of timid signals on phase 3, the world of cinema is frantically working on the institutional level, with meetings that follow one after the other: the OK of the Technical Scientific Committee and the institutions on the health protocol are awaited. will allow the return to the set with the resumption of productions signed on May 27 by the associations of audiovisual companies from ANICA to CNA, to trade union bodies, but also two fundamental provisions for the safe reopening of both traditional and open-air theaters in he practices a new decree that takes steps forward compared to the dpcm that established the reopening of the screens on June 15th. "In France they reopen with spectators without masks, with group distancing, that is, with families and relatives who can sit close together, and with a capacity of not less than 50%. Only in this way - continues Lonigro - can we proceed otherwise with us from an industrial point of view as things are now I do not say the profits but we do not even cover the costs. We hope that the new decree expected for next week will improve and we are convinced that time is our ally given the curve of the spread of the virus ". Film distribution is therefore on hold: the recurring word is 'pending', a term that means uncertainty of release date. "It takes at least 50 days not to say 60 days to position a film and this we said to the ministry. We are working at this point not on the short term but on the medium term. For now, together with the Disney Award, a group of unpublished films completely tries to reunite with the public in the dark of the hall or in the open air of an arena: a small patrol of courageous from the front line to boarding: A son named Erasmus (1 July), Gabriele Muccino's most beautiful years ( 15 July), Do not hide from Giorgio Rights (15 August in the arena, 20 in the theater) and then the Oscar 1917 film, the 'winner' of the Ribbons Il Traditore by Marco Bellocchio, Pinocchio by Matteo Garrone, the last Men in For the bazooka films, we will have to wait. As for Moretti's Tre Piani, we are in the hands of Nanni, "he will decide, he is a great author and we respect him".
