From 2018 to the present, Film Commission Torino Piemonte coordinates the contents, logistic and promotion of TFI Torino Film Industry, connecting and harmonizing the programming of institutions and partners who, with their presence and contribution, contribute to the common goal of creating a true workshop for national and international independent cinema.

In a solid context that is capable of renewing itself with each edition, Film Commission Torino Piemonte is organizing and promoting, also in 2025, Production Days, a co-production meeting that welcomes decision makers and professionals from the sector with the unchanged aim of placing piemontesi talent and companies at the center of the production chain and, at the same time, involving beginners in the sector who have just approached the world of cinema and its industry through targeted workshops.

Production Days returns as a showcase and key moment to present FCTP's flagship projects - such as the opening day dedicated to the cinema and the pitch session for projects from the Development Call alongside Compagnia di San Paolo - while also offering numerous new features, starting with the brand new Torino Film Clinic, which will be held behind closed doors the day before the opening, followed by the presentation of the new Match Piemonte Award together with Regione Piemonte and Circolo dei lettori e delle lettrici, and finally the new TFI Immersive section dedicated to audiovisual practices that are expanding languages and aesthetics beyond the boundaries of the cinema screen.

Confirming the officina, market, meeting, and experimental laboratory dimension that distinguishes its programming, FCTP will offer a program that gives voice to producers, directors, authors, commissioning editors, and creatives who represent and promote the audiovisual workshop, with the aim of putting the spotlight on the latest developments, protagonists, and debates that animate the current national and international scene.

A series of meetings and concrete opportunities for discussion and debate will attract and engage national and international players and partners, a decisive factor that over the years has increasingly distinguished the event, positioning it among the most important business events in the Italian film and television industry.

OFFICINA: a space providing access to the world of cinema and audiovisual media, designed to offer a real opportunity for exchange, in-depth analysis, and networking.

A new season of meetings on cinema and audiovisual professions, dedicated to absolute beginners, film dreamers, and professionals: 13 different events and workshops that have become a distinctive feature of the program: among the many guests are Remigio Truocchio, creator of Cinè – Giornate di Cinema di Riccione, together with Radio 102.5 La Mario radio host and long-time Cinè presenter, followed by a journey into the world of TV series theme songs, in the presence of composer Stefano Lentini (Mare Fuori), a meeting on directing with British director and producer Mark Lewis (author of “Vatican Girl” and director of the recent “Stolen: heist of the century,” also made in Torino), a meeting in collaboration with Seeyousound on the music video industry, a conversation on the profession of Sales Agent with Giulia Casavecchia, Head of International Sales for the newly formed PiperPlay, and a meeting with award-winning director of photography Luca Bigazzi. Artificial Intelligence and Animation will be the focus of the debate for the workshop organized in collaboration with Sottodiciotto Film Festival, which will be joined by an event dedicated to Data Managers and an in-depth look at the European program “Avenue,” an operational moment for professionals to transfer skills on XR, VR, AR, etc....

To round off the event, there will be a meeting entitled “Fuori dal centro” organized in collaboration with Associazione 100 Autori and Italian Film Commissions, the presentation of the new FCTP call for proposals platform and a meeting dedicated to the “administration” department for film crews.

MARKET: a stage where film and audiovisual projects in various stages of production, from development to work in progress.

The opening of TFI Torino Film Industry - the first of the Production Days events, on Thursday, November 20, at 10:00 a.m. - will once again dedicated to the cinema, with a panel on the role of film libraries and a pitch session for projects carried out with the support of FCTP, both organized in collaboration with Agis Piemonte and Valle d'Aosta.

The Piemonte Film TV Development Fund returns once again for this edition – the fund is dedicated to nurturing talent, new cinema, and independent productions, and is entirely supported by the Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo as part of an agreement with Regione Piemonte - with a selection of projects presented by authors and producers, in an edition that, a few months after the death of director Mirko Locatelli, aims to pay tribute to his career and the projects that saw him take center stage on that very same stage.

A brand new feature of the 2025 edition will be an additional, unprecedented pitch session, dedicated in this case to projects in development created with the support of the Piemonte Doc Film Fund, Italy's first fund dedicated to the development of cinema verité, eighteen years after its launch.

MEETINGS: a series of panels and meetings to activate synergies and exchanges between organizations operating in the Piedmont region and national institutions, to discuss current issues and investigate the state of the art of the film and television industry.

The “meetings” section will be inaugurated by director Giorgio Diritti, who on the morning of Thursday 20, starting with the case study of “Il vento fa il suo giro”, will open the debate on Italian cinemas adopting new business approaches. This will be followed by a meeting dedicated to hybridization and documentaries, with two contrasting case studies taken as a basis for discussion, namely “Stolen: Heist of the Century”, released on Netflix in the summer of 2025, and “Leila”, recently presented at Alice nella Città.

The traditional events focusing on the “behind the scenes” of major production and distribution companies and “comunicare il cinema” will feature Rai Fiction on the one hand - in conversation with Deputy Director Ivan Carlei and Marketing and Promotion Manager Walter Ingrassia - and to the other hand with Gianluca Pignatelli, who will talk about the press office profession as the founder of one of the most prestigious Italian studios.

There will also be a meeting on the “Sistema Cinema Piemonte” to present, through the voices of the institutions and founding members of FCTP, the investments and results of the sector that position the region among the most active and productive at the national level. Another new development linked to the projects of local institutions is the Match Piemonte Award, a brand new project by Regione Piemonte, Fondazione Circolo dei lettori, and Film Commission Torino Piemonte - the award is intended for literary works set in Torino or Piemonte that can be transformed into audiovisual products made in the region - and will be launched during TFI.

This will be followed by a debate on “fantasy cinema”, which has carved out a specific position in the distribution scene from “B-movies”, and then a discussion on the global industry scene in the Immersive landscape.

WHAT'S NEW: Torino Film Clinic, TFI Immersive, TFI Extended

Among the brand new features there is the first edition of Torino Film Clinic, a closed-door session for analysis and discussion of the potential and critical issues of a number of projects in progress with the support of the Piemonte Film Development Fund and the Piemonte Doc Film Fund, the funds supporting feature films, TV series, and documentaries of Film Commission Torino Piemonte. On an experimental basis, authors and producers will be asked to reveal themselves and discuss their projects with experts from both the audiovisual sector and outside it (such as doctors, engineers, employment consultants, etc.), in order to understand how to bring projects to fruition and to the public in a way that goes beyond the usual industry events.

Of great importance for the program is the new section TFI Immersive - launched by Film Commission Torino Piemonte, curated by Sara Tirelli and dedicated to audiovisual practices that are expanding languages and aesthetics beyond the boundaries of the cinema screen. This section was created with the aim of analyzing the rapid evolution of immersive technologies (XR, VR, AR, MR) and digital creation tools (AI in particular) that are reshaping the way works are conceived, produced, and enjoyed, and it is part of the activities funded by the European Union in the AVENUE – ERASMUS+ project, which supports the development of European creative industries. This important partnership, which brings together the Politecnico di Torino, Film Commission Torino Piemonte, Prodea Group, CSC Animazione and Cartoon Italia in support of the development of European creative industries over the next four years, was previewed during the last TFI Torino Film Industry.

The 8th edition of TFI Torino Film Industry also inaugurates its “Extended” dimension, with a calendar that goes beyond the official TFI dates thanks to the collaboration with the city festivals Contemporanea, Glocal, and Sotto18 as part of the “Long Month of Cinema in Torino” (November-December). The program includes the panel “Professioniste dell’audiovisivo: un’istantanea Contemporanea” (November 8) with Contemporanea dedicated to the status of audiovisual professionals, and a focus on “Piemonte a tutto cinema: un’istantanea Glocal” (November 15) with Glocal to promote local cinema professionals. The activities will continue in December, with special events planned in collaboration with Sotto18, which will be announced shortly.
