«Thanks to Farinelli for his competent and passionate contribution.

I am certain that with Nastasi’s presidency, we will continue to grow and enrich the Festival culturally, as well as overcome the many challenges facing cinema, from the vastness of productions and platforms in the field to the advent of artificial intelligence».
