Tavolara Film Festival "A Night in Italy", edition number thirty-three: let's go. The 2023 edition will start on May 20th and end on July 16th.

Founded in 1991 by a group of friends in love with the island of Tavolara and with cinema, the event has closely followed the production and events of Italian cinema, involving authors and performers in its development. The festival, reads a note, "has always maintained the same prerogatives: a lot of Italian cinema, sometimes the most mistreated by the distribution circuits, the same inimitable setting" and the desire to affirm that "even a priceless environmental asset value as the island of Tavolara could be enjoyed with intelligent proposals that perfectly combine landscape protection and tourism». A space has traditionally been dedicated to Sardinian cinema and in particular to young directors or to significant works from the regional scene.

Over the years the event has been enriched with a large program of collateral activities (fundamental in this regard the contributions of Antonio Maraldi, expert in cinema images and founder and president of the national competitions Clicciak and Back Stage, of the journalist Piera Detassis and Geppi Cucciari (who will take care of the meetings with the authors) and has always kept faith with the prerogative of a great popular event, during which the public and insiders meet without filters in the same boat and in the same audience.

The territorial scope has also expanded: it now involves three municipalities, Olbia, Porto San Paolo, San Teodoro, as well as entities such as the protected marine area of Tavolara Punta Coda Cavallo, the Centro Cinema Città di Cesena and Confindustria Nord Sardegna. The event is also accredited by the universities of Bologna, Sassari and Venice for the realization of internships.
