“I find it hard to consider and speak about Asia as one single reality. I can say that a new language is coming from these countries, which the West has acknowledged. Would you say that’s “Asian Cinema”? It is cinema, that’s all.” (Italo Spinelli)
‘When they came to see a movie about Thailand, they found a great movie coming from Thailand.’ (Italo Spinelli)
Directed by Italo Spinelli, the Asiatica Film Festival has been using cinema as a powerful tool to promote dialogue between the East and the West by organising exhibitions and cultural events since 2000. JCI has supported the Asiatica Film Festival since 2017 by organising its annual editions.
