The press conference of the "Filming Italy Sardegna Festival", an important film and television festival to be held from today to Sunday 25 June, at the Forte Village Resort in Santa Margherita di Pula, now in its sixth edition, has concluded.
The conference was held in the Amphitheater Hall of the Sardinia Region in Cagliari, in the presence of the Councilor for Tourism Gianni Chessa, the organizer of the festival Tiziana Rocca, and some of the artists who will participate in the event.
After the customary thanks to the various institutions that contributed to the realization of the event, some of the guests we will see in the coming days took part. A greeting via message to the organizer, from the Minister of Tourism Daniela Santanchè, who could not be present today, but who wanted to demonstrate the importance that this kind of event has for our region and for Italy in general.
Amusing exchange of jokes between Tiziana Rocca, with the director Fausto Brizzi and the actor Ricky Memphis. There was Lodo Guenzi of the Social State who, with his participation in the recent film by Pupi Avati, participates in the festival as an actor. Francesca Chillemi godmother of the festival, splendid as always, reminds us how beautiful the Italian islands are, being Sicilian.
Gabriele Lavia talks about yesterday when he got lost inside the resort and accidentally met the cinema legend Christopher Walken, and how he thought he was dreaming. Alessandro Nivola , nephew of the famous sculptor Costantino, fondly recalls his summers spent in Sardinia in Orani with his cousins, and how he will take advantage of the finished festival to take a tour of the region.
Claudia Gerini, as president of the short film jury, says she is ecstatic to return for the fourth time to this event. Finally, the director Volfango De Biasi, who yesterday premiered the film "A monstrous marriage", says how important it is to see films at the cinema, and says he is grateful for the recent opportunity for discounted films with "Cinema in festa". Among the foreign guests also Dennis Quaid, Daniela Melchior from the latest Fast and Furious, and Dominic West, Prince Charles from The Crown.
Many other stars are arriving between tonight and tomorrow, for these days with an international flavor, an important opportunity for exchange between cinema and television, and national and overseas actors.
