Espressioni Film Festival in this 2011 edition has created a network with Italian and European organizations, bringing new artistic works from centre-East and West Europe.
Milan also becomes the place to distrubute some of the most interesting videos by Coreografo Elettronico, the main video-dance prize within Italian bounderies.
By following a geo-politics approach, Espressioni Film Festival presents the “Going East” section with the films from East Europe, from Israel and Taiwan, the “Going West”
section with the films from West Europe and America. The section Italy is spread in two days with Italian authors. In addition two important events will be held on Saturday 5th
and Sunday 6th: the screeing of the four videos prizewinners of the 2010 edition Coreografo Elettronico on Saturday; on the same Sunday night the screening of “Scuola d’artisti” by Massimo Volta about the most famous ballet Academy of the world and of the docu trailer dedicated to ballet dancer Valter Venditti.

ESPRESSIONI ITINERANT TOUR
The concept of “itinerant” aims to share the film heritage, specifically in Italy, from the Northern to the Southern part of the country, creating an ideal creative link within the Italian territory. Then the festival heads straight for Europe, to set off to the opposite part of the world, Brazil, in order to push the territorial boundaries and embrace an international cooperation. This network is intended to serve as a way of building bridges without frontiers and to foster true artistic exchange and production.
The festival will travel to:
Siena – Rome – Bari – Catania (Italy), Nis-Sombor (Serbia), Podgorica (Montenegro), Varna (Bulgaria), Izmir (Turkey) and Praia de Iraçema (Brazil)
