Free admission
On Saturday, October 28, as part of the 31^st Eurovisioni Film and Television Festival, the Rome Film Fest will host a seminar on the theme: “Creativity and cultural growth in Europe: what role can state television play?“. The event will be held at the MAXXI – National Museum of XXI Century Arts, starting at 9:30 am, in a joint initiative between the Department of Cultural Growth of the City of Rome and Eurovisioni. It creates a dialogue between the public broadcasting service, radio and television, the audiovisual industry and observers of the sector, and cultural policy promoters, with the aim of understanding the degree to which state radio and television still fuel creativity in Europe today and impact a nation’s cultural vitality. In the digital era, traditional modes of production, distribution, promotion and consumption of cultural products are being disputed. In this new context, it is more important than ever to stimulate and sustain a country’s cultural creativity and give all its inhabitants the possibility to enjoy it and/or participate.
Scheduled speakers include Luca Bergamo (Deputy Mayor of Rome and Councillor for the Cultural Growth of Roma Capitale), Helen Boaden (former BBC executive), Marco Chimenz (Cattleya), Michele Zatta (RAI Fiction), Guillaume Klossa (UER-EBU). The seminar will be introduced by Antonio Monda, Artistic Director of the Rome Film Fest, and Michel Boyon, president of Eurovisioni; it will be chaired by Anna Maria Tarantola (Eurovisioni) and moderated by Duilio Giammaria (RAI).
