Always keeping its mission clearly in mind, for the past 35 years N.I.C.E. has built a network of events around the world that showcase the best of new Italian auteur cinema. The great sensitivity and openness to all that is new in visual culture — which we have encountered in audiences throughout our travels — continue to inspire us year after year, encouraging us to embrace the many opportunities that come our way.

Every year, N.I.C.E.’s story is enriched with new adventures. We are therefore delighted to announce that we will have a section dedicated to us at the Tbilisi International Film Festival, now in its 26th edition.

We will be bringing a selection of six of the best Italian films released in recent months, in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in Tbilisi: stories of growth and self-discovery that travel across Italy and connect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.

I hope that each of you will lose — and then find — yourselves within these films.
Enjoy the show!
