Undersecretary for Culture Lucia Borgonzoni, who was present at the conference, said:
“I really wanted to be here today because I think TFF has its own peculiarity: it is loved by the city, but with an international scope, and that is not a given. – Turin looks forward to the festival because it is a community event: also important to bring young people closer to cinema; and then TFF manages to unite the different planes, indie films and more pop films, capable of bringing even more people together; it manages to unite a whole and also because of this it grows more and more.”
During this edition, a full retrospective dedicated to Sergio Citti will also be presented. For the occasion, the volume SERGIO CITTI – La poesia scellerata del cinema edited by Matteo Pollone and Caterina Taricano (co-published: Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia – Edizioni Sabinae) will be published.
