"In Our Crazy World One Has to Have a Position"

As a film critic and film programmer, Beatrice Fiorentino looks
back on intense collaborations with a number of prestigious Italian
publications. A year after winning the 2014 Akai Prize as best film
critic at the 71st Venice Film Festival, she became part of the
“Film della Critica” panel of the National Union of Italian Film
Critics and, just the next year, of the selection committee for the
Venice International Film Critics’ Week. For more than half a
decade, she has shaped the independent section focused on debut
features into a space of artistic discovery and topical timeliness
in the position of its artistic director. At the Lido’s Casa della
Critica, Fiorentino speaks with Lidanoir about this year’s
contentious political climate, diversity within the Settimana della
Critica and beyond, and why she believes in the persistence of film
festivals.
