Cinema in Italy: a brighter tomorrow?

It’s been another year of intense production for Italian cinema with bold results of visibility and presence in the A-list European festivals. Robust private investments and consistent state support have kept the production sector afloat during the pandemic and thriving afterward, with not always-matched outcomes at the box office. While theatrical attendance is showing signs of bouncing back (also due to the impressive performances of some summer international hits), content creation seems to be again on the edge of seismic changes. Inflation, market contraction, and the streamers’ change of pace demand different approaches, compelling the leaders of Italian cinema to forward-thinking to find new opportunities for growth. What are the goals, and what are the strategies?
