(ANSA) - VENICE, SEPTEMBER 12 - The sense of a film festival, the gap between an exhibition with its cinephile bubble and the public, the relationship to be rebuilt between people and the cinema, the bridge from Venice to Los Angeles for Dare to renewed hopes for Paolo Sorrentino.

Paolo Sorrentino caresses the Silver Lion for E 'was the hand of God, with the emotion that does not go away. "Frankly, I didn't expect anything. Having been on other juries in the past, which are the most unpredictable and wacky thing in the film world, I know it's always a lottery," said the grand prix director of the jury. Excited even more than the Oscars, because "you get tired after months and months of the campaign, especially for those who go back and forth with Italy. It is very beautiful but you can't wait for it to end". Are you ready to go back and forth on the other side of the ocean? "It all seemed premature, you have to take the steps one at a time. We are happy with the Lion, then from tomorrow we will sit down with the great team of this film and see what to do"replied to ANSA. Michelangelo Frammartino, awarded with the jury's prize for Il Buco (a film about a great spelological enterprise in Calabria in 1961), defines himself as an "underground", a different one that makes "an underground cinema", but is liked abroad: "Ilcinema is stateless , it's nice an award from an international jury and I hope it will be seen abroad ".
Between so much cinematic vitality, two big knots: the box office that does not take off and the strength of the new production majors, namely Netflix and the other platforms. "The exhibition is a showcase, the relationships between platforms and rooms have been overturned and there will be a settlement, I hope - said Barbera - that a double system will continue to exist and whose rules will be defined and this is a great challenge".
