Siracusa presents the third edition of Cine Oktober Fest, from 6 to 31 October at the Urban Center and at the Biblios Cafè.

It was presented to the press yesterday Cinema Oktober Fest, 2023 edition.
The event - now in its third edition, and one of a kind - will take place in Syracuse from 6 to 31 October at the Urban Center, in via Nino Bixio 1 and at the Biblios Cafè, in via del Consiglio Reginale 11.
The Councilor for Culture participated in the presentation Fabio Granata.
“Just as in the best tradition of the 900th century, cultural ferments arise from literary cafés – declared Granata – This seems to me to be the most significant figure of the Cine Oktober Fest, which is a cultured event aimed at cinema lovers but also built in an aggregative way for the entire community, not just the youth of the city. The Urban Center, which the municipal administration makes available, is the perfect space to guarantee the union between an event that originates in a private entertainment venue but is projected as a public event. So, congratulations to the authors of this clever mixture which sees cinema as the protagonist but also brings together other artistic languages ​​such as literature, acting and graphics around it.”
The Syracuse cinema event, conceived and directed by Giuseppe Briffa – president of Post Cinema APS (Social Promotion Association) and by Ludovico Leone – vice president and general project manager – is sponsored by the Municipality of Syracuse in partnership with Siracusa Città Educativa, Urban Center Siracusa and Biblios Cafè Ortigia.
The event – ​​underlines the Post-Cinema president, Giuseppe Briffa – “is proudly an unprecedented unicum in Syracuse, aimed at creating a rebirth in the socio-cultural and artistic panorama, as well as becoming a driving force for the creation of new expressive methods and making the various cultural realities of Syracuse communicate with each other while waiting for the fourth season. In fact, in the pipeline – announced Briffa – cinema-pictorial, video-film art exhibitions and vintage exhibitions”.
“The Post-Cinema association – declared Ludovico Leone – was born in July 2023, but already existed as a cultural movement since 2021. The primary objective is to spread cinematographic culture and the arts connected to it at 360°, proposing a new model of use that combines conferences, projections, live music and theater with easy replicability for all age groups in every place and context with the help of a few means, through collaboration with ever new bodies and associations.”
