Thirty-four audiovisual productions, including feature films, documentaries, short films, fiction films and TV series, will receive funding from the Region of Sicily through the Ufficio Speciale per il Cinema e l’Audiovisivo/Sicilia Film Commission, as part of the Sensi Contemporanei Cinema programme. "We received more than 70 applications," commented Alessandro Rais, director of Sicilia Film Commission, "selecting 20 feature films, nine documentaries and five short films to receive a total co-financing fund of €1,525,000which, as has been proved in previous years, should generate a 500% increase in direct expenditure in Sicily.”
