IGS Running July 3–11 along the Adriatic coast, the Italian Global Series Festival returns for its sophomore edition with a leaner lineup and sharper focus. As international attendees hit up Rimini and Riccione, the showcase once again transforms the Riviera Romagnola into a beachfront crossroads for the television industry.
“We wanted to open this festival to the world,” says IGS artistic director Marco Spagnoli. “It’s not just about promoting Italian creation, but also the region, the culture and the spirit of collaboration. We need people to meet. Last year, you could see an American actor, a Spanish actor and an Italian director all together. Television rarely creates those opportunities.”
