Gosetti was a respected film critic, journalist and programmer who was prominent in the international film festival community for decades. He was the founder and long-time director of <\/span>Giornate degli Autori<\/span> (at <\/span>Venice Days<\/span>)<\/span>, an independent side festival of the <\/span>Venice International Film Festival<\/span>dedicated to auteur-oriented cinema and new voices in cinema. In his work as a programmer, writer and cultural activist, he placed great emphasis on supporting bold and original filmmaking and introducing audiences to new directors and perspectives from around the world.<\/span><\/p>

At RIFF, Gosetti\u2019s deep knowledge of cinema, curiosity, and generosity of spirit left a lasting mark on the festival. His commitment to discovering and supporting new talent helped shape RIFF\u2019s programme for nearly a decade.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
