Stellar productions, new projects and incentive opportunities. The day with the Italian focus of Ventana Sur, the main audiovisual market in Latin America, closed with a gala evening organised by the Italian Ambassador in Montevideo, Fabrizio Petri. Also doing the honours on the red carpet was the head of special projects of the Cinema and Audiovisual General Directorate of the Ministry of Culture and Cinecittà, Roberto Stabile, who in the presence of hundreds of guests recalled the high added value of the Italian Screens initiative, a project conceived as part of the internationalisation support activities, to promote the best of Italian cinema abroad, tax credit and tax incentives in favour of distribution and co-productions.
Ambassador Petri instead shared the stage with the director of 'Alien: Romulus', Uruguayan Fede Alvarez, who managed to bring the famous 1990s series back to success, also drawing inspiration from the Italian myth of the She-Wolf.
Prominent among those present was the team of producers who worked on the series dedicated to Formula One champion Ayrton Senna, recently released on Netflix and costing five years of intense work, while for new Italian projects, the young producer Fabio Saitto (Point Nemo - Milan) stood out, working on an interesting documentary-investigation on wheat, 'The food barons'.
The evening was also attended by Ministers Elisa Facio (Industry), Eduardo Sanguinetti (Tourism), Alejandro Sciarra (Social Development) and Undersecretary Walter Verri (Industry).
