The programs will be judged by a jury of industry professionals, which includes director Bille August (The Count of Monte Cristo), director and screenwriter Cristina Comencini (Don’t Tell, When the Night) and director/writer Paolo Genovese (Perfect Strangers).
Some of the Excellence Awards have also been announced and will be presented during the opening night at Teatro Galli in Rimini and the closing night at Arena del Sole in Riccione. Among the honorees are Elena Sofia Ricci, Carlo Verdone, a major figure in the audiovisual world, actress Evangeline Lilly, one of the leading stars of American television, Giorgio Moroder, and British actress Adjoa Andoh, best known for her role as the Queen in the series Bridgerton.
The main objective of the festival, which has been bestowed the status of High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic, is to promote and celebrate the production of Italian and International series, their artistic quality and capacity to entertain.
Over eight days this June, Riccione and Rimini will become the centre of Italian and international television excellence. With an extensive program curated by a committee of industry experts, the festival will not only be a prestigious showcase of today’s best series content, but also a laboratory for ideas around the future of the sector.
