Italy s Far East Film Festival is making a slight change to the dates for its 2021 edition in order to align with cinemas reopening in the country.

We had a chat with
Thomas Bertacche, co-founder of Tucker Film, a distribution company specialised in European and Asian films. He speaks with us about the variety of work done around movies, including organizing a festival and launching a streaming platform, the strategy of investing in Asian titles to work their way throughout the Covid situation and his hopes about changes to come in European distribution.
Cineuropa: Whatâs your editorial policy and why?
Thomas Bertacche: We have been working in arthouse cinemas since the 1980. Two partners, two arthouse cinemas, in Friuli, Udine, created Tucker Film. Il Centro Espressioni Cinematografiche (C.e.c.) and the Cinemazero. The C.e.c. organizes since 1999 an Asian movie festival called Far East Film Festival, with genre and popular Asian movies. This is where our editorial policy comes from; we work with arthouse European movies and Asian movies because we have knowledge about those films.
