Fourth Edition 13 – 24 June 2006 There are now only
20 days remaining until the deadline for the entry of works for the
fourth edition of the
Ischia Film Festival, the international film competition under
the overall patronage of the President of the Republic of Italy
which awards those works which have done the most to promote
“locations”.
It is well known that cinema can instil in the public a range of
emotions which few other forms of communication can and the Ischia
Film Festival would like to give the appropriate recognition to the
works, the directors, the directors of photography and the art
directors who through their art have managed to describe places,
tradition, the culture and the emotions of a place and to inspire in
the audience the wish to visit them.
Feature Films, Shorts and Documentaries can enter the competition
which have done the most to promote or make use of a “location”
either in Italy or abroad and which have represented this location
on a human, historical and social level as well as that of place.
The Ischia Film Festival also aims to be a place of research,
study and debate on international cinema and its relationship with
Movie Tourism (Cineturismo).
Now on its fourth edition the Ischia Film Festival has become one
of the most prestigious amongst the list of cultural and film events
held in Italy. Figures of the stature of Vittorio Storaro, Sir Ken
Adam, Carlo Rambaldi, Osvaldo Desideri, Alan Lee, Carlo Lizzani,
Luciano Emmer, Cinzia Th Torrini, Shaila Rubin, Vittorio Giacci,
Francesco Frigeri, as well as up and coming stars of Italian cinema
such as Vincenzo Marra, Francesco Patierno, Costanza Quatriglio,
Francesco Munzi, Giorgio Pasotti, Donatella Finocchiaro who have
done much through their talent and enthusiasm to enrich the event.
Works such as “Pater Familias”, “Respiro”, “Saimir” “La storia
del cammello che piange” have received their just recognition at the
Festival together with International prizes to Mel Gibson’s “The
Passion and Wes Anderson’s “Life Aquatic”.
