(Adnkronos) - Agli Stati Generali del Cinema in Sicilia anche Paolo Genovese reduce dal grande successo dei "Leoni di Sicilia" tratto dal libro bestseller di Stefania Auci che narra le vicende della famiglia Florio ambientata proprio in Sicilia. E' la Sicilia offre scenari mozzafiato che fanno da richiamo. Sfruttare l'onda lunga dei film con le loro location e ambientazioni per incentivare il turismo è auspicabile con progettualità a lungo termine sebbene un film diventa internazionale veramente quando parla a tutti anche se girato in un ascensore di un condominio. Il linguaggio del Cinema al centro della sua visione per Genovese che ritiene anche necessario regolamentare le intelligenze artificiali e l'apporto che possono o devono dare al settore cinematografico.

00:00CINEMATOGRAPHY
00:04At the General States of Cinema, here in Sicily, also Paolo Genovese,
00:07reduced to a really incredible success, we are right in Sicily with the lions of Sicily,
00:12we will also have Stefania Auci, the author of this saga, of this bestseller,
00:16in short, it was a great success, was it foreseen?
00:19It was a success, fundamentally, you never know, then it is always difficult to predict,
00:26I must say, Stefania's story, the book, had a huge success,
00:30it is a story that has been loved very much, and the characteristics to be able to go well, there were all,
00:35but in short, when you make the transpositions from a novel to a film,
00:39in short, you never give anything for granted, but in short,
00:43very happy of this success, both in Italy, but also abroad, it went very well,
00:49because in any case it tells a Sicilian story, but an absolutely beautiful story,
00:55physiological, of revenge, of redemption, in short, a positive story,
01:00with wonderful places and locations that do justice to this territory.
01:05Today the Minister of Tourism said that some series,
01:09he also mentioned the lions of Sicily, can also serve to make known,
01:14in fact, some places such as Sicily to tourists from all over the world,
01:17in the specific case, the lions have been seen in many countries,
01:21do you think it is so?
01:23Absolutely, look, the phenomenon of tourism cinema, if well directed,
01:27that is, we should not expect that it rains from the sky,
01:30but if there is a thought behind it, it can be an incredible tourist resource,
01:37behind a thought means that organizing tours, to show, for example, the locations,
01:43with someone who tells the evolution, who shows,
01:46in short, not just hoping that one sees a nice little square and wants to go and see it.
01:50Look, I had this experience many years ago, with Immaturi, the trip,
01:54according to Varos, that island, clearly a wonderful island, but ...
01:57Did it have a boom?
01:59It had a boom, they called me back on the island to give me the keys of the island,
02:02because tourism has made more than 300%, and this, let's say, our peak, in short,
02:08but, for example, New York is full of tourist tours,
02:12to go and see the locations of the most famous series,
02:15Sex and the City, on everyone, but on many others,
02:18so I think that ...
02:20Gossip Girl, the youngest.
02:22Absolutely, I think that the lions ...
02:24Obviously, then, not everything is borrowed,
02:27but the lions who have told the most beautiful parts of this island,
02:33the monumental parts, Palermo, those incredible buildings,
02:36the islands, the leagues,
02:38can give a boost to tourism, because it is a way to make known,
02:42when a film is exported, when a series is exported,
02:46not only a story is exported,
02:48but a piece of culture of that country is exported,
02:51of which tourism is perhaps the most important element,
02:54but not only, because then we export our gastronomy,
02:58our fashion, many aspects of Italianness,
03:02so it is something collateral to the films,
03:05that should be developed and financed, in my opinion.
03:08What do you think, instead, of the protest of the actors on Netflix,
03:12because they say they were paid little?
03:15Well, you know, they are ...
03:18that is, any claim, however, is legitimate.
03:21I, to tell you the truth,
03:23I honestly don't know exactly the contractual terms of this claim,
03:28so I'm afraid to talk about something I don't know,
03:31I don't even want to support a protest like this,
03:34too cool, because it is a protest,
03:36but certainly the arrival of the platforms,
03:40which has profoundly overturned the fruition,
03:44and therefore also the rights we have,
03:47the image, the exploitation of the image,
03:50must certainly be regulated and redefined,
03:53because the world of the image,
03:55therefore of the right of the author, has also been revolutionized,
03:59so it is right, certainly, an adequacy, a revision.
04:02Perfect strangers, we can't help but mention,
04:05it also had a great success in the theater, in Palermo.
04:08Now we are in Palermo, now we are in Palermo.
04:11In short, it never ends, there have also been several countries.
04:15There have been many remakes, well, in short,
04:18they are, as they say, those dogs that come out of the hole,
04:21unexpected, who would have thought it was a small film,
04:24a small budget, all in one room.
04:26They destroyed families.
04:28They created separations.
04:30I must say that the Association of Divorced Lawyers
04:33sends me flowers every year.
04:35This mobile game on the table has created monsters.
04:39It has created a lot of monsters, but in short, it was an idea,
04:42well, in short, it is also an example of how an idea can be small,
04:46but at the same time big, winning,
04:49and also related to a theme that we are dealing with here today,
04:53which is the internationalization of our cinema.
04:56Perfetti sconosciuti, like many other Italian films.
04:59But they are an example of how to make an international film,
05:02you don't necessarily need to do it in English
05:05or to go and shoot it in America.
05:07But today, in my opinion, with the globalization of the miles,
05:11a film is international when it speaks to everyone.
05:14Regardless, you can shoot it in the elevator of a condominium,
05:18an example on everyone is Parasite,
05:22a film, also in language, also subtitled,
05:25of a very different culture from ours,
05:28has had a worldwide success.
05:30So it is an important theme,
05:32that of the exportation and internationalization of our cinema,
05:35fundamental, in my opinion, in this moment to survive.
