Introduction

The President

Roberto Cicutto

“We have been lucky, and perhaps a little courageous too, in deciding to hold, in the presence of filmmakers, technicians and the public, our Film Festival on the appointed dates”.

The Director

Alberto Barbera

“This year the program contains multitudes: of movies, of genres, of points of view. A consistent number of films have been invited, just slightly fewer than the usual number in Venice”.
