ISCHIA – Acclaimed British producer and director Trudie Styler chaired the annual “Women’s Forum” (La parola alle donne), a cornerstone tradition of the Ischia Global Film & Music Festival. Hosted at the Hotel Regina Isabella in Lacco Ameno, the week-long forum focused on industry opportunities for young talent through the empowerment and leadership of women in film and music.
“It is a true pleasure to return to Ischia once again,” stated Trudie Styler, Honorary President of the Global Festival. “This small island is an unspoiled gem and hosts one of the most relaxing and fun festivals on the calendar. I thank Pascal Vicedomini for his passion, generosity, warm welcome, and for bringing together a community that reunites year after year and inspires us all.”
The forum gathered a stellar lineup of international and Italian industry leaders, producers, and performers. Distinguished guests included producer Raffaella de Laurentiis, Head of Rai Fiction Maria Pia Ammirati, actresses Charlotte Hope, Nicky Whelan, Lina Sastri, Antonella Salvucci, Giulia Bevilacqua, Mariasole Pollio, Mariana Rodriguez, Daniela Scattolin, Elisabetta Pellini, and Maylin Aguirre, alongside music stars Nicole Slack Jones, Lola Ponce, and Ste.
The Ischia Global Film & Music Festival is promoted by the Accademia Internazionale Arte Ischia with the support of the Italian Ministry of Culture (Directorate General for Cinema and Audiovisual) and the Campania Region through the Film Commission.
