NICE Films

The NICE, New Italian Cinema Events, film festival is going to be in Amsterdam April 2nd-15th and in Moscow and St. Petersburg as well, April 22nd-May 2nd. The NICE film festival was started in 1991 and was intended to promote current Italian films in different parts of the world. This years films include “Black Sea”, “The Girl By The Lake”, and “Lessons In Chocolate”. Each year the committee for the NICE festival picks 7 of the best films produced for that year and showcases them in very popular cities around the world. The NICE films that are presented in the USA are eligible to win the Premio Città di Firenze (City of Florence Award). The prestige of the NICE film festival has grown over the years partly because of the established relationships with well known producers and distributors such as Miramax, Touchstone, and MGM. The festival was already featured in New York and San Francisco in the fall of 2008.
