But in the last few months something has changed\u201d. Encouraging signs, \u201cthat indicate a future direction and make it possible to glimpse a possible change of course\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What happened?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>For the very first time audiovisuals have been recognized by the Ministry for Economic Development as one of the industrial categories of Made in Italy, giving them the identity of an Italian product of excellence. This means that it will not limit itself to organizing retrospectives on Italian cinema abroad, but will also attempt to penetrate other markets. To give you a better idea, we will go from an allocation of 700-800,000 Euros to 4 million Euros: a big leap in quality.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How will these funds be distributed and who will manage them?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>Part of the funds will be allocated to the foreign distributors that distribute Italian films, as already happens in other countries.<br \/>\nThe ICE-Italian Trade Agency will be responsible for distributing the funds.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Will it be important to work on the products in parallel?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nAbsolutely yes, what we have to do is think above all about the product, carefully studying the case of France.<br \/>\nFrance has carved out for itself a slice of the comedy market, whereas we make comedies that are not very exportable. It is not enough to export an individual movie, because what we need to take abroad is a moviemak- ing industry.<br \/>\nWe have to create a strong and recognizable image for ourselves. The French have managed to do just that: when one of their comedies is released, the audience knows what it is getting and goes to the movie theater.<br \/>\nThis \u00a0is also demonstrated by the success of so many remakes of French comedies realized in Italy, from \u201cBenvenuti al Sud\u201d onwards.<br \/>\nWe are still at the occasional exports stage, the cinema we sell abroad is art-house cinema &#8211; the movies that go to the Cannes Film Festival, to stay on topic.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Sorrentino, Garrone and Moretti are proof of this&#8230;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em>Of course, they are recognizable filmmakers and three out of four of the Italian titles selected for Cannes were filmed in English. Clearly their chances will be greater on international markets. But we should emphasize another aspect: normally exportable movies are high budget \u2013 \u201csmall\u201d phenomena-movies are mostly \u201cflashes in the pan\u201d \u2013 and the average theatrical budget in Italy is lower than in other countries. Having said that, we have had 15 years of constant growth on the domestic market which has led to industrial growth that can only benefit the whole sector, with repercussions for the product.<br \/>\nThe international sales of the three Italian movies in competition at Cannes have been entrusted to European companies of British and French origin: a trend that is not new for our film industry.<br \/>\nOver the years Italian foreign vendors have become weaker, so the sales have been entrusted to international brands.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>On the other hand what reasons do you give for the clear drop in TV drama exports?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nAll over the world general-interest production is of a domestic nature, whereas the productions made by specialist channels or for pay TV have more opportunities abroad. But Italy has seven general-interest channels.<br \/>\nThe advent of Sky in the production field has led to the development of a new type of series, and hints about the reform of Rai imply the possibility that one of the public service networks will be destined for this type of production.<br \/>\nAudiovisuals is a strategic sector for the national economy and for Italy\u2019s image abroad. Four movies selected for Cannes, some TV series that are traveling around the world (\u201cMontalbano\u201d, \u201cRomanzo criminale\u201d, \u201cGomorra\u201d first and foremost), the launch of a Made in Italy policy and the reform of Rai make us think the twe are starting a new journey, but there is still a lot of work to be done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSomething is moving, but there is still a lot to do\u201d.
