DESCRIPTION
The festival was born in Montecatini in 1950. It stood out for many years, paying particular attention to the great Italian cinema and the works of filmmakers. Over time it has become an important and eagerly awaited event to pay homage to many illustrious Italian performers. The festival is organized by the National Association FEDIC, (Italian Federation of Cineclubs) which thanks to a dense network of professionals and cinema lovers organizes the Italia Film Fedic (Ex Film Video) festival. From 2024 the festival will become international with an opening to new proposals that complement the traditional contest dedicated to authors registered with the FEDIC Federation.
The festival is generalist, including films of any genre, without any political and social preclusions, but giving visibility above all to the less visible films proposed by authors from all over the world. The festival has created a consolidated collaboration with the local administration, offering a cultural device capable of strengthening the prestige of being a UNESCO heritage city.
