The Italian Contemporary Film Festival (ICFF) is a publicly attended film festival that takes place in Toronto, Ontario during the month of June in celebration of Ontario’s (Italian Heritage month ). As the only Italian Film Festival in Canada, ICFF is a showcase for contemporary cinema of Italian origin from all over the world and brings together filmmakers and audiences to celebrate Italian heritage cinema and explore its new frontiers. ICFF is a six-day cinematic exploration of Italian lifestyle, culture, heritage and history. The festival presents an international collection of feature films, documentaries and shorts, including premieres, advance screenings and independent films. Screenings are supplemented by social events attended by celebrities from Italy or of Italian heritage, guest appearances by filmmakers, actors, authors, academics and other expert speakers and complemented by Q&A sessions. == Industry support == ICFF showcases films, supports filmmakers, recognizes the leadership of entertainment industry performers and business executives, and promotes a diversity of perspectives on Italian culture. The aim of the festival is to raise awareness and promote all the various aspects of Italian cinema, as well as to support established and emerging filmmakers of Italian descent. It is a forum where industry professionals from major and independent production and distribution companies are invited to attend meetings with participating filmmakers as well as panel discussions with speakers from film industry professionals. ICFF also introduces films in the hope of finding them a Canadian or US distributor, it presents other films (including works from any country in the world) that have an Italian flavour or connection that are sometimes outside the ‘mainstream’ but that have considerable artistic and cultural merit. This is a festival focused exclusively on anything related to Italian culture. Distributors will have the opportunity to see films that have never been shown in Canada. For established directors, it will open up new avenues to exhibit their films, for emerging directors it will provide a gateway to unexplored channels. The festival is conceived as a kind of “piazza” or public square that marries cultural factors with the demands of market distribution and promotion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Italian Contemporary Film Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
