Gala of Cinema and Fiction in Campania 2010
The third edition of the Gala of Cinema and Fiction in Campania wants to live up to the success of previous editions, responding to the enthusiasm and affection of the experts and the public, through the proposal of an increasingly rich program of contents.
The Campania Region has been the protagonist in these last two years of great cinema and television productions of quality and effect. Naples and Campania have been important sets of films, also of international importance such as Eat, pray and love with Julia Roberts, and very followed fiction, as evidenced by the special prizes and titles in the competition this year, a won challenge that drives us every year to invest more and more in this project.
A goal that we have achieved in just two editions was to see the inclusion of the cinema and fiction gala in Campania among the six institutional events of the Region: a sign of appreciation and great encouragement to continue on this path, having at our side the institutions that, as happens only in countries with a great tradition like France, support the cultural industry, ideas and contents regardless of their political orientation in a clear and transparent manner. A choice to which we are grateful as cultural operators and citizens, which obliges us to increasingly greater responsibility with regard to work on the territory and as a showcase of regional excellence in the audiovisual sector, thanks to the cordial and active commitment of the Campania Region Film Commission, of the its Director General Maurizio Gemma, as well as all his collaborators.
To present the opportunities and possibilities represented by the audiovisual sector for Campania entrepreneurship, will be the representatives of Anica, the most important trade association of the audiovisual industry in Italy, the “guru” of product placament in Italy, Marina Marzotto and the producer who attracted some of the main Hollywood productions in our area, Marco Valerio Pugini.
Another piece to help us discover our territory is a fam trip with two location managers who will discover hidden corners of our city for a movie tour dedicated to cinema and the history of Naples. We also thank Marco Spagnoli, who for the third time follows with great commitment the artistic direction of the event, which together with the Solaria Service team, the sponsors and the press office, shares the vision and the goal of slowly increasing the Gala of cinema and fiction to become the main event in Naples and Campania, timidly turning its gaze to the national team because when projects are done well, they can also be exported to other regions.
