"In the context of the Venice Film Festival, which this year gave ample space to quality Italian and European titles, and in light of the great results obtained at the box office this summer thanks also to great arthouse films such as Oppenheimer, I am convinced that the XXIII edition of the FICE event will represent a fundamental moment to take stock of our sector, without forgetting the problems that concern us, but looking to the future with more optimism than in past years”. They are the statements of Domenico Dinoia, President of FICE (Italian Federation of Arthouse Cinema) in announcing today at theItalian Pavilion on the Lido and in the presence of the Deputy Mayor of Mantua, Giovanni Buvoli, the 2023 edition of the Arthouse Cinema Meetings, in Mantua from 2 to 5 October.
