MARATEALE, chaired by Antonella Caramia and directed by Nicola Timpone, was founded within the Mediterranean Cinema Association, created in 2014, which has always promoted, organized and produced events related to culture, cinema, sustainability, environmental issues, and the rich territory of Basilicata.
Cinema, audiovisual and education are at the heart of the activities of MARATEALE which offers a program full of events, national and international guests who interact with the public, young people and professionals. A week of programming with previews, events, masterclasses and meetings with the authors to deepen the many themes that run through a film, a character, an idea.
MARATEALE is not only a Festival, but much more. During the editions it has become an important reference for young film lovers, for artists and professionals of cinema and audiovisual, with a particular attention to the authors of Basilicata. But it has also become networking for producers and professionals who during the event explore and share ideas and opinions, creating real "industry days".
