FESTIVAL LOCATIONS<br />
THE LOCATIONS<br />
‘I’ve Seen <strong>Film</strong>s’ takes place in the Gnomo Milano Cinema venue, in Milan, via<br />
Lanzone 30/A in Vicolo Sant’Agostino, very close to the Sant’Ambrogio church and<br />
the city center. This area encompasses many restaurants, shops and other useful<br />
services. The subway system, the public transport service and the parking areas<br />
can offer the best comfort to the tourists. Gnomo Milano Cinema is a film theater<br />
built to meet the audience needs. It has all the advantages of a modern and new-<br />
concept theater: the sophisticated audio and video technology and the comfortable<br />
seats give an emotion-packed feeling to its audience. Additionally, it offers a very<br />
keen programming structure that takes into account many preferences: not only the<br />
commercial hits, but also author’s works, special initiatives such as thematic<br />
screenings, retrospectives, premieres, original language movies, meetings<br />
with directors and so on. Gnomo Milano Cinema is the Milano Municipality’s<br />
film theater that screens quality short films and author’s works.<br />
Another ‘I’ve Seen <strong>Film</strong>s’ location is Spazio Oberdan in viale Vittorio Veneto, 2<br />
(on the corner of Oberdan square) very close to the city center. This is a 200-seat<br />
theater where films belonging to Fondazione Cineteca Italiana, as well as Province of<br />
Milano thematic retrospectives, are screened. There is also a 700 sq. meter area<br />
where contemporary Art and Photography exhibitions take place. In addition<br />
to that, an information desk offers updates and news on the main national and<br />
international cultural events and there are box office ticket sales for attendance to<br />
Italian and international shows, exhibitions and museums.<br />
‘I’ve Seen <strong>Film</strong>s’ also takes place at the Centre Culturel Français. Founded in<br />
1949, the Centre Culturel Français in Milano is located in the renowned Palazzo<br />
delle Stelline, across from the Santa Maria delle Grazie Basilica. This institution,<br />
directly linked with the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs, promotes the French<br />
language and culture. In addition to the famous French language courses, it offers<br />
a rich cultural season, held both in-house and ‘hors les murs’, which ranges<br />
from arts to music, from theater to dance and from lectures to design. The Centre<br />
Culturel Français cooperates with the major institutions, theaters and festivals in<br />
Milan and northern Italy. Its screening room offers a comprehensive French language<br />
film season along with other special events such as premieres and retrospectives.<br />
Another ‘I’ve Seen <strong>Film</strong>s’ location is Palazzo Reale (the Royal Palace), one of the most<br />
beautiful architectural accomplishments of the Milanese 18th century, set at our<br />
disposal by the Culture Councillorship of the Milano Municipality. Palazzo<br />
Reale, located to the right of the Duomo Cathedral, plays an important role with regard<br />
to Art in Milan. In fact, it also hosts the Municipality’s Contemporary Art Museum,<br />
where exhibitions of important artists such as Monet, Picasso, Klee, Delacroix,<br />
etc. are held. This is the location for the ‘I’ve Seen <strong>Film</strong>s’ Awards Evening’.<br />
