Michelangelo Messina is a film organizer and a Location Manager for the
Islands in the bay of Naples, Ischia, Procida and Capri. A lover of
theater and cinema. Born in Ischia, after his studies between Italy and
New York has lived for several years in Germany. He set up several
theater productions between Ischia and Rome until 1992 and made an
active contribution to all the film and television productions which
took place in the islands of the Bay of Naples. From 1996 he began to
work in film as a location manager and director of production. He
assisted several film productions both Italian and international. It is
from this background that after a few years and substantial research
into the area that in 2003 the idea of creating a festival dedicated to
locations came to fruition. After the first 2 editions of the Ischia
Film Festival, which immediately caught the attention of the press and
the institutions active in the sector, he also decided to create a
market dedicated to the relationship between film productions and their
"locations". He then became general manager of the International Movie
Tourism Exchange (BICT) which today represents the only European market
dedicated to this market sector.
