Gala of Cinema and Fiction in Campania 2014

Also this year the appointment with the Cinema and TV drama in Campania is renewed, which like every edition launches a new topic linked to cinema. This year we have always kept the interest in the web series alive, but we decided to dedicate a special focus to Food. Facing this subject in a cinematic perspective was an idea that stimulated me a lot since there are so many films shot in Italy and especially in Campania, where food is the protagonist or at least an integral part of a film or fiction . Transmitting sensorial experiences linked to food through the audiovisual sector strengthens the will of a tourist to visit a place not only from a landscape, but also from a culinary point of view. Famous actors and directors have chosen Campania to shoot their films where food has been a driving force, from the Gold of Naples with Sofia Loren, to Eat Pray and Love with Julia Roberts and many others. Italy will host one of the most important events from next year, which is the EXPO whose theme is nutrition, discussing how to nourish ourselves by seizing the particularities of each country, has given me the inspiration to dedicate a showcase to this theme focusing on Campana gastronomy. Italy through its films will celebrate these excellences, from pizza, to mozzarella, from wines to limoncello and much more. This is a challenge that I love to face in a “land of fires” that wants to redeem itself and that deserves special attention by celebrating its excellence and uniqueness that are only found in southern Italy.
