Started at the end of the month, The Ischia Film Festival was the world debut for The Interview at Sea. For that alone it would still remain in our hearts. It was in any case a very beautiful and intense experience. The Interview at Sea participated in the selection of the Confini section, a particularly interesting section for us because it is reserved for independent cinema with strong social connotations.
In short, a festival to definitely attend again in the future, even only as spectators! Recommended for the quality of the films, the beautiful location and the kindness and passion of those who organize it. Thank you and see you next year!
However, for The Interview at Sea, July continues with a fourth festival. This time we are going abroad! We will unveil all the details soon…
