Conceived, founded and directed by Francesco Bizzarri, with the artistic direction of Maurizio Nichetti, the International Documentary Film Festival Visioni dal Mondo for its new 2023 edition confirms Teatro Litta, one of the most significant works of architecture in Lombardy and already the venue of the past editions, as the location for the Italian Contest and Visioni Incontra, the Industry section curated by Cinzia Masòtina, responsible for advisory and coordination, dedicated to business and aimed at professionals. The National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci, the most important technical-scientific museum in Italy and one of the most important in Europe and in the world, already cultural partner of the previous editions, will host the second edition of Visioni VR, the competition dedicated to documentaries in virtual reality and interactive experiences.

The Cineteca Milano Arlecchino, a model of modern art cinema in the city’s panorama, a new feature of this edition, is the venue chosen to host the international documentary films selected by the Festival.

Three symbolic cultural venues in the city of Milan will open their doors to the public of the 9th Visioni dal Mondo Festival. The Festival will once again this year offer the possibility of following the previews on the official website www.visionidalmondo.it through the web theatres of the Italian streaming platform MYmovies.

 

The programming and schedule are in the process of being finalised, and in addition to special events, masterclasses and meetings, it confirms the main sections: Italian Contest with two categories, aimed at Italian filmmakers; International Contest, dedicated to foreign productions; Visioni Incontra Contest, dedicated to documentary projects still in the work in progress or in advanced final development stage; and Visioni VR Contest.

 

 

Available on the Festival website www.visionidalmondo.it are the calls for entries for the Contests open to films and documentary projects with a deadline of 31 May 2023.

 

“Listening with the eyes” is the theme that will accompany the 9th Visioni dal Mondo International Documentary Festival. “Listening with the eyes” wants to emphasise the etymology of the word listening, i.e. listening attentively, paying attention, observing, perceiving, feeling in order to understand, learn and increase one’s experience.
