The escalating competition in the world of SVOD- streaming video-on-demand and OTT platforms and the need for original and international content gave us, in 2018, the idea to create a Festival that was more a hub and didn’t focus “just” Awards and red carpets. ITTV is a platform to screen premieres and teasers of new projects, host panels, networking and soon screenings-test for the audience. The pandemic has increase, even more, the demand for contents and the closure of movie theaters has shifted for long time the releases from the theaters to the home couch. Because of all the above the demarking line between theatrical content and TV content is getting undefinable and collaborations are increasing. That’s why we believe that more attention should be paid to events that promote collaboration and cooperation between Hollywood and the rest of the world with special attention to Italy in the audiovisual field. ITTV is also a platform to promote established and emerging talents (screenwriters, actors, directors, showrunners and producers), technologies that change the narrative, locations and tax incentives, brands and much more.

The idea of a Forum&Festival was born/came about to facilitate the conversation between those who, in Italy and around the world, think, write and produce audiovisual content and those who, internationally, distribute, are looking for ideas and/or seek alliances for co-productions.
It also promotes deep collaboration between international productions, host cities, the tourism industry and companies that want to successfully establish their brand in the world.
ITTV also offers a great setting for showcasing the latest trends in tech. This is why an important space is given to TECH IN ENTERTAINMENT, -Technology Applied to Entertainment”. Today, more than ever, entertainment means Technologies applied to hardware, software, and contents. The ambition, for TIE, is to become a recruitment and exchanges ground, where to introduce emerging startups to established Tech and Industry US and International business. We consider this and essential step towards digital distribution, with attention to the world of the Metaverse, NFT and animation. The goal is a continuous and fruitful cultural and professional exchange.
ITTV Forum&Festival showcases a wide array of productions, and captures the imagination of American and international veterans of Television series, films for TV, streaming productions, reality shows, web series, and titles in original Italian format that are ready for export.
ITTV promotes the continued growth of cultural and business synergies between the U.S. and the rest of the world.
The future editions of the festival will be held in September, during the week before the Emmys, the most important TV awards.
