21/7/2014 - 29th Settimana Internazionale della Critica (International Critics' Week) programme announced

This morning, La Settimana Internazionale della Critica (International Critics' Week) announced its line up for this year's Venice Film Festival. The works presented in this section were chosen by a commission of Italian film critics, aim to represent a type of cinema that often struggles to get the type of exposure it deserves.

Furthermore, as a rule, only first or second works by a filmmaker are accepted in the final selection, and these works must not have been shown anywhere else - not in any other festival nor in their own country of origin.
