In Toronto many ethnic communities promoted their film arts and intrinsically their social development, technology and arts of their countries. Italy, for many years, missed this opportunity as a notable absentee in this context. With the ICFF (Italian Contemporary Film Festival), placed at the end of the Italian Heritage Month, the event co-founders Cristiano De Florentis and Maurizio Magnifico, wanted to make a substantial contribution to the promotion of the new Italian film industry in Toronto. The Consul General of Italy dr. Gianni Bardini has expressed full support to the ICFF that, after so many years, it will show a new image of Italy and will attract the interest of residents from different ethnicity in Toronto, and particularly younger generations. This initiative, sponsored by the IC Savings and Credit Union Bank, represented at the press conference by Francesco Riondino, together with other italian canadian companies, will be held from June 26 to July 2, 2012, at the Royal Cinema, on College Street, and AMC 30 Cinemas Interchange in Vaughan. Among the various screeningss there will be the Canadian Premiere of Woody Allen's eagerly awaited "To Rome with Love", on June 30 at the Royal Cinema. Six days of screenings and receptions will be capped with the Closing Night Ceremony on July 1, 2012 at 9:00 PM at TIFF Bell Lightbox where the ICFF will announce the winners of two inaugural award: People's Choice Award and Angela Baldassarre Award for the "Best Film" of the ICFF.
