The fourth edition of ‘Fare Cinema’ (the festival dedicated to Italian cinema abroad promoted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, ANICA, ICE Agency and Istituto Luce – Cinecittà) will be held from 14 to 20 June, 2021.
It is an event that, right from the title (Reboot – Il Cinema italiano riparte), aims to underline the extraordinary reactive capacity demonstrated by the Italian cinematic industry in dealing with the pandemic crisis. It will, as usual, pay special attention to the cinema professions, through a series of original production realized with the partners of the event and subtitled in English.
In this playlist you can find (starting from June 14th at 3 pm Malaysian time)10 short videos and 2 video-clips with interviews and meetings which give the floor to the protagonists of the audio-visual industry. These are realized with the Fondazione Cinema per Roma and curated by Mario Sesti.
During the course of this week, online free screening will be offered through the platform MyMovies, under the project “Con la macchina da presa”, organized in collaboration with True Colours.
In Malaysia, with a maximum of 500 tickets per show, the following movies will be available:

- three unreleased documentaries of about 20 minutes, narrating the shift from paper to screen of great novels over the years (at the link BookToScreen) through interviews with the authors, publishers, directors, actors and producers. The event has been made possible thanks to the collaboration with the Salone Internazionale del Libro di Torino (Turin International Book Exhibition);
