Nuovo Cinema Italiano Film Festival has grown over its 15 years and gained the attention of important filmmakers and industry professionals in Italy. Today, we are forging relationships with counterparts in Italy in an effort to expand the festival’s reach and influence. Nuovo Cinema Italiano Film Festival partners again this year with Arci Movie to present three films focused on Naples, which has become in the last decade or so one of the most productive and innovative hubs of Italian cinema. We hope you enjoy our Neapolitan films.
