Ente dello Spettacolo brings community focus to Venice film festival

In brief

The Entertainment Agency of the Italian Episcopal Conference is hosting several events at the Venice International Film Festival to highlight cinema as a collective human endeavor. The agency is using the festival to address how the seventh art interacts with new technical challenges and social relationships.

Don Davide Milani, president of the foundation, said the goal is to preserve the ability of people to look one another in the eye and encounter the human experiences of artists.
