Cinecittą Luce-Filmitalia

Cinecittą Luce is the state-owned company whose main shareholder is the Italian Ministry for Culture who subsidies its activities on an annual basis. Cinecittą Luce's institutional work includes promoting Italian cinema both at home and abroad focusing on great directors of the past as well contemporary ones. Cinecittą Luce holds a film and photographic archive of its own productions, and private collections and acquisitions. Cinecittą Luce also distributes films made by Italian and European directors to guarantee an adequate release on the national market.

The Filmitalia team, now part of the Cinecittą Luce organisation, maintains a strong presence at all of the major film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Buenos Aires, Toronto, Shanghai, Tokyo, Locarno, New York, London, etc.

Filmitalia also organizes events which take place in countries with strong commercial potential: The Italian Cinema Festival in Tokyo, Open Roads – New Italian Cinema in New York, The Festival of Italian Cinema of Madrid and The Mittelcinemafest.

Cinecittą Luce maintains a film library, Cineteca, which contains around 3000 titles of significant Italian film productions, subtitled in foreign languages, which promotes Italian culture at major national and international Institutes around the world.

Italy has been an EFP member since 1999, and was originally represented by Italia Cinema. In 2004, Filmitalia became Italy's representative in EFP.

"Being part of the EFP network is becoming more important every year. EFP has facilitated the collaborative presence of European and Italian cinema at all of the key-events in the film business worldwide - events which would be extremely difficult for us to attend on our own."
