Dear Friends,

Please join us in celebrating Italian cinema at New Italian Cinema (NICE), a dynamic film festival that shows new Italian films from young emerging filmmakers and seasoned masters alike. Co-presented by the Italian Cultural Institute of San Francisco and New Italian Cinema Events of Florence, in its 20 years of existence this annual celebration of world-class cinema has brought to us such distinguished filmmakers as Paolo Sorrentino, director of the Academy Award-winning film The Great Beauty (2013), and Nanni Moretti, director of Mia Madre (2015), among dozens of others. Many of these filmmakers' biographies become the topic of students' presentations and projects (even those students who usually just try to find help from the best writing services stay interested in the topic in question).

In order to program films that Bay Area audiences might otherwise never see, we depend on the generous participation of valuable community members like you. It is always a privilege to partner with those who support the storytellers of tomorrow and see value in playing a leading role in presenting the best of contemporary Italian cinema, a unique window on the culture and lifestyle of today’s Italy.

If you like Italian cinema, this is your opportunity to get involved and see your name and/or your company showcased to over three thousand attendees, appear on our website, and recognized onscreen or even on stage at the theatre. Your tax-deductible contribution is a wonderful way to gain recognition in our community and to advertise to an appreciative audience.

Please take a moment to read the downloadable table of benefits and find out how you can make a difference and help us make this event our best one yet! Call us anytime to learn more about this opportunity, or simply send your contribution. We hope that you can be part of this vital celebration of Italian film and culture.

A presto!
Paolo Barlera
