The embassy celebrates the Berlinale, the world of cinema hosted by Bucci

(ANSA) - BERLINO, 18 FEB - The world of cinema, but also of institutions, culture, and art, gathered at the Italian Embassy in Berlin for the traditional evening organized on the occasion of the Berlinale. According to a note from the diplomatic headquarters, guests this year included Senator and Undersecretary of State for Culture Lucia Borgonzoni; Antonio Saccone, president of Cinecittà; Giorgio Carlo Brugnoni, general director of Cinema and Audiovisual at the MIC; and Roberto Stabile, head of special projects, General Directorate for Cinema at the MIC/Cinecittà. The event, which was very well attended, also featured directors, actors, and other personalities from the world of cinema. The reception was accompanied by music from Italian DJ Budino and the Italian-German band Maiorano. In collaboration with the Costa Archive, a small exhibition of original photographs by photojournalist Paolo Costa, who worked alongside Tazio Secchiaroli in the 1960s, was also set up. In the afternoon, Ambassador Fabrizio Bucci visited the European Film Market, one of the three main meeting points for the international film industry, which was attended by 266 Italian companies in the sector: figures that demonstrate the strength and vitality of the Italian audiovisual industry on the international scene. The Berlinale reception is part of a wider program of initiatives that the embassy dedicates to cinema, including meetings and presentations—such as that of the Netflix series Il Gattopardo—as well as thematic reviews. The "Ciak si gira" review took place in the summer and the Winterkino review is currently underway. As for the Berlinale, there were three co-productions with Italian participation in this year's official program: two in competition, Nina Roza by Geneviève Dulude-De Celles, a Canada-Italy-Bulgaria-Belgium co-production, and RosebushPruning by Karim Ainouz, a Germany-Italy-Spain-UK co-production, and one in Perspectives, The Red Hangar by Juan Pablo Sallato, a Chile-Argentina-Italy co-production.
