Italian Screens

By Caren Davidkhanian

Led by Roberto Stabile, Italian Screens was launched jointly by Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Cinecittà for the Directorate General for Cinema and Audiovisual of the Ministry of Culture, and the Academy of Italian Cinema and David di Donatello Awards, the Italian premier film awards that showcase the best of Italy’s film production selected from movies nominated for the latest edition of David di Donatello Awards in major cities around the world.

The goal of Italian Screens is to introduce international audiences to Italian films, filmmakers, and actors, while at the same creating opportunities for international co productions by showcasing what the Italian film industry has to offer by way of skills, expertise, and financial incentives. Events held by Italian Screens were successfully held last year in Atlanta, Bangkok, Bangalore, Berlin, Calcutta, Los Angeles, Miami, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Sao Paulo; they continue on in 2023 with Mexico, South Africa and other major countries across the globe.
