by Pietro Marcello, the opening and closing films of the festival respectively, really showcase the potential of Italian film today”. This was Francesco Giai Via’s response at the Annecy Italian Film Festival when questioned by Cineuropa over the power wielded today by Italian films abroad. Now at its 37th edition (scheduled for 23 - 29 September), the festival set in the Haute Savoie city, under the aegis of the Bonlieu Theatre, is dedicated to productions hailing from the other side of the Alps and encapsulates the many creative features of these works. From Martin Eden – which has just scooped an award at the Toronto Film Festival, having previously taken home the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival thanks to the performance of lead actor Luca Marinelli – to The Traitor, previously in competition in Cannes and named the winner of the 2019 Italian Golden Globe by the Foreign Press in Italy. “These are two films”, Francesco Giai Via continues, “in which a perfect balance has been achieved between the strong and radical vision of their authors and their ability to reach out to a wider audience. It’s no coincidence that these are films which have had the support of critics, as well as the general public, with excellent domestic box office results and sales brokered all over the world. Today, thanks to its institutions, its producers, its directors, its actors and its professionals, Italian cinema can hope to achieve results on a par with the golden age of the 1950s and 60s”.

This is a significant and a rather comforting statement from a person who, for the third year running, is steering an event showcasing a wide panorama of Italian film production. The aim of the Festival is to boost distribution in Francophone countries, providing films which aren’t often distributed in French cinemas with access to a wider audience, but it also looks to bring a considerable number of sector professionals together, working towards this same goal of enhancing Italian film distribution in France.

Selected to participate in the new talent-oriented Competitive Section of the event and battling it out for the Grand Prize, the Special Jury Award (whose winner is chosen by a jury of film professionals), the CICAE Art Cinema Award, the Young Jury Awards, and the Rix Audience Award are 8 titles, all of which will be preceded by short films from Gero & Gipi: The Young Observant [+lee también:
