What happens when two ancient civilizations swap stories through the magic of movies? 🎥 Italian director Gabriele Mainetti, known for blending local tales with global flair, just dropped some cinematic wisdom at the 12th Silk Road International Film Festival!
As a Golden Silk Road Awards jury member, Mainetti told CGTN's Zhang Meng he's "fascinated" by China's epic landscapes and booming film scene. His take? "Cultural dialogue isn't just about history books – it's alive in every frame we create together." 🎞️
Timed with the 55th anniversary of China-Italy diplomatic ties, the director highlighted how filmmakers can remix tradition with modern storytelling. Think Renaissance art meets TikTok-era creativity! 🤝 From Tuscan hills to Zhangjiajie's floating mountains, Mainetti sees endless potential for cross-cultural collabs that make audiences worldwide go "ma che bello!"
