Sept. 2 – Fiction, documentary, animation are the genres that bring together Slovenia, Croatia and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The project, presented yesterday at the Venice Film Festival, aims to encourage creative and commercial ties while focusing on audiovisual and film. The Regional Audiovisual Cooperation and Training, or “Re-ACT” program, is an original initiative dedicated to cross-border co-development of audiovisual projects and the encouragement of new international co-productions. “Re-act” was presented within the Venice Film Market by the President of the Friuli Venezia Giulia, Debora Serracchiani, the Secretary of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, Tamara Perisic, and the Director of the FVG Audiovisual Fund, Paolo Vidali. The FVG Audiovisual Fund, together with its Croatian and Slovenian counterparts, designed “Re-act” as an innovative fund for the co-development of feature films, and as a series of specific training initiatives (on top of the annual workshop edited by TorinoFilmLabm). The initiative shown in Venice is the result of the already successful cooperation between the three funds, which trained and supported local manufacturers, and also created numerous major international co-productions: “Tir”, “Zoran, il mio nipote scemo” or “Dancing with Maria,” presented in Venice.
