This evening I choose a long dress, pendant earrings and a thin layer of lipstick. Tonight I also will tread the red carpet, but not in Cannes or Venice rather in Ischia for the ninth edition of the Ischia Global Film & Music Fest conducted by Pascal Vicedomini, which takes place from July 10th to 17th in the most beautiful place of the 'green island.
The chairman of the event will be the production designer, winner of two Academy Awards, Dante Ferretti, and the British actress and the producer Trudie Styler will chair the Committee of Honour, there will be also Henry Siskins and Marina Cicogna as Master of the Ceremony.
Ischia, as a small Hollywood of Campania. In addition to the press conferences, if I can, I will see also some of the actors expected to close film festival, like Christoph Waltz, 2010 Oscar winner for "Inglourious Basterds" by Quentin Tarantino, Vanessa Hudgens, John Hannah, Peter Fonda and Italians actors like Violante Placido, Massimo Ghini, Carolina Crescentini, Antonio Cupo. There will be other artists, such as multi-faceted musician and photographer Fabrizio Ferri, Lina Wertmuller, winner of the Henry Job Ischia Prize Art Award.
International films will be screened like the most significant of the last season as "The speech of the King" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", with previews such as "Drive" by Nicolas Winding Refn, considered best director on the occasion of the last Cannes Festival with the movies "The Debt" by John Madden, "Son of No One" by Dito Montiel and two American comedies "Bridesmaids" by Paul Feig, exploits of the summer box office and "Horrible Bosses" by Seth Gordon. The most awaited is undoubtedly the world premiere of the film last fifteen minutes of Joel Schumacher's "Trespass" produced by Avi Lerner, starring Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage.
Great attention to Italian cinema, beginning with "We thought," that will receive the Ischia Award as film of the Year and from the green island will begin his run for the Italian Oscar nomination, 2012 and continuing with the comedy "Nobody can judge me" by Massimiliano Bruno. Another important protagonist will be the music by Gino Paoli, , Ornella Vanoni and Lucio Dalla, Kid Creole & the Coconuts, Coco Sumner the rocker di Sting's daughter, M'Barka Ben Taleb, Raiz, Eugenio Finardi, Sal Da Vinci e Lucariello.
In the course of the Ischia Global Film & Music Fest, there will be also V Social Cinema Forum "SOS Mediterraneum" that, with the participation of President Vincenzo Spadafora Unicef, presents a focus for artistic and cultural emergency in the North Africa with special awards to Israeli writer Rula Jebreal for "Miral", the Tunisian producer and singer Dora Douchoucha Moroccan M'Barka Ben Taleb.
Director Paul Haggis, president of the beneficial Artist for Peace and Justice, will lead the Movie Educational Seminar about Freedom of Expression in the world and especially in countries in the limelight of the recent stories and will involve Iranian actress Nazanin Boniadi, ambassador for Amnesty International and promoter of the campaign for the release of Jafar Pahana. The program provides space at the V World Script Market, chaired by writer and director Michael Radford, with the participation of Massimiliano Bruno, the IV Global Production Summit that will bring together the major Italian and international producers and Music International Symposium chaired by Tony Renis and with the intervention of the President of the Grammy Awards, Neil Portnow, the legendary composer Mike Stoller, the famous pianist Corky Hale.
I hope that this year it will be repeated the traditional projection on large screen, placed on the water, in the bay of the Hotel Regina Isabella in Lacco Ameno. Between the noise of the sea and the lines, I will feel an actress for one day.
