Trudie Styler Honorary President of the 12th Global Ischia Festival

And just knowing how to combine the interest of all kinds of participants is the secret that, in just nine years, has made the Global Film & Music Fest in Ischia among the most coveted events dell'estatecinematografica world. An event that grows without being affected in any way to the crisis, the problems that surround it in the South, the moods of those who have seen it grow in the blink of an eye, beyond all expectations.

When you say that the facts are more effective than small talk is just that. The Ischia Global Fest, while not enjoying the great means and while retaining its independent matrix (unascelta which costs dear for the sake of various and sometimes dubious) is renewed annually, with prestige, with the participation of the artists who will confirm the true pillars of the event.

Compared to many events that revel in gossip and pseudo holdings of super-star, the Global Fest is a model not only for the region and for Italy, but for the world. Its main secret is that it manages to be constantly fed by the push of actors, directors, musicians, producers, insiders who are racing to make a contribution proactive in passing above all the "good word" among his colleagues. An action that shows, day after day, to be more effective financing that might satisfy your beneficiaries without, however, keep their commitments.

The Ischia Global commitments takes them and keeps them since 2003 with absolute responsibility. And it is for this reason that, as well as artists, even the institutions and individuals who have the opportunity to run for case in one of his days, remain involved to such an extent as to become fans and supporters.

One of this is Louis Fir, president of BNLGruppo BNP Paribas and the Cinecittà Studios, which is notoriously shy in attending festivals and the like. Three years ago he was invited to discover the Spruce Global Fest and has since become one of the main supporters of its format, convinced that we can do business culture in general, and film and music in particular, even in the sea. And 'here that you can not socialize with many off record "Players" art film and maybe to make a market without barriers of any kind. And 'here that will create the basis for new scenariartistici unimaginable on paper. And like him, to be convinced of the positive powers of Ischia, are the top management of 3 Italy for the second year in Lacco Ameno as part of the Grand Cinema 3 or those of Alitalia convinced of the strategic capacity of tourist attraction that holds the Global Fest. Of all this we must first of all be grateful to the family who believed Carriero since 2003 the value of the project involving its dedicated staff of Queen Isabella. Then at the General Direction for Cinema of the Ministry of Culture has supported from the first moment, and Maurizio Maddaloni yesterday at Confcommercio, today at the Chamber of Commerce, given the importance of expanding the boundaries of the local universes global projects.
