Italian Ambassador to Vietnam Marco Della Seta speaks at the press conference
Speaking at the press conference, Italian Ambassador to Vietnam Marco Della Seta said: "Culture is at the heart of the relationship between Italy and Vietnam, in which cinema is one of the important factors to connect and exchange cultures between the two countries. Because, for us, cinema is the most effective way to connect people together as well as convey the culture, image of the country and people of Italy to friends around the world . We just need to look at the images, or read the topic, we will understand the issues being conveyed in the film.
It can be said that 2023 is a very successful year for Italian cinema, with many outstanding works, so I think that the films shown at this year's Film Festival will be better than those shown last year. Through the films, the audience will understand and know the diverse and outstanding stories of today's Italian society."

"I hope that Vietnamese people will love the films being shown and have fun times with family and friends, relaxing and enjoying good films. This is the wish we want to convey to Vietnamese audiences through the 2024 Italian Film Festival" - Mr. Marco Della Seta expressed.
Sharing about this year's Film Festival, Artistic Director of the Asian Film Festival in Rome and the Italian Film Festival in Hanoi Antonio Termenini said: The 2024 Italian Film Festival is a great opportunity to introduce Italian cinema to the international audience.
