The 2002 edition of the TaorminaFilmFest
will be dedicated to Francis Ford Coppola and to Sergio
Leone, with an ample retrospective on these two great
directors. |
| Felice Laudadio, the
director of the festival, announced this and that the
dates of next year's edition will be from Saturday 8th
to Sunday 16th June. The Nastri d'Argento awards will
be presented on the last evening. The idea of anticipating
the Festival comes from the needs of the distributors
to use Taormina as a jumping board for the summer season's
programme making full advantage of it and adapting to
European standards. |
