While in March the film industry will meet (online) and will be able to support and give light to ours. selection, in the summer - like a new beginning, 70 years after the first edition - our audience will be able to celebrate the filmmakers and their teams, in theaters and in the open, "said artistic director Carlo Chatrian.
