"Shakespeare in Venice", the fiction project of Amelia Fiorenzato's Venetian film production company VIP MEDIACOM, encounters its American partners at the American Film Market programmed from 4 to 11 November in Santa Monica, California.

The subject of the film was written by Alessandro Bettero, and the screenplay is by Alessandro Bettero and Gareth Jones. Co-production partners in the film "Shakespeare in Venice" - an authentic and acclaimed surprise at this year's Rome Fiction Fest - are VIP MEDIACOM (Italy), SCENARIO FILM (UK) and FERNS PRODUCTIONS(Canada). Robi Colangelo is executive co-producer.

VIP MEDIACOM has just produced the pluri-awarded docu-drama "Carlo Goldoni - Venice Grand Theatre of the World", directed by Alessandro Bettero and recently presented in pre-release in France.

The American Film Market is the most important showcase in this sector in the United States and worldwide; and it serves VIP MEDIACOM also as an occasion for presenting its assets and mission: to create Euro-American quality productions and co-productions, setting up strong connections between Venice and Hollywood, and ensuring a stable presence in Los Angeles. So not only promotion of incoming productions into the Veneto and Italy, but also organizing production and distribution networking that will enhance the historical, artistic and
cultural heritage, our "made in Italy" and the Italian way of life.
