The 31st edition of the Turin Film Festival was the first directed by director Paolo Virzì, after previous editions were overseen by Gianni Amelio and Nanni Moretti. Box-office data from the festival show an increase by 30% of daily tickets compared to 2012, with over 100,000 spectators overall and a profit of €260,000. These figures should make Virzì’s presence next year assured. His new film, Il capitale umano [+see also:
