The Embassy of Italy in Belgrade hosted a press conference at the Residence of the Italian Ambassador, where H.E. Luca Gori officially announced this year’s festival
In his address, Ambassador Gori recalled the wealth of cultural initiatives organised by the diplomatic mission in recent months and invited the audience to discover the best of contemporary Italian cinema during the festival.
From 18 to 22 September, numerous film screenings, meetings with authors, and events promoting Italian culture will take place at the festival conceived and promoted by Gabriella Carlucci.
Following the ambassador’s remarks, the festival’s creator and curator, Gabriella Carlucci, presented the programme of this tenth edition. It is marked by films of various genres – from action to romance to comedy – aiming to bring to the Serbian audience Italian productions with highly original screenplays.
Guests at the press conference included Italian actors Salvatore Esposito and Fortunato Cerlino, stars of the opening film In the Wolves’ Den and famous for their roles in the iconic series Gomorrah. Salvatore Esposito revealed that he had to learn many lines in Serbian for his role as a Serbian criminal in the film.
