Autumn event · regional Veneto circuit
For filmmakers and directors working with Italian and European independent productions, regional small distributors, executive producers of the Triveneto, sister festivals of the Italian film circuit (Pesaro, Torino, Trieste, Padova, Vicenza), banking foundations and sponsor brand teams that accompany the Veneto regional cinema event with their own merchandise programme — catalogues of the works in competition, event booklets in FSC-certified paper, delegate kits for the technical juries, gifts for the training-sector masterclasses, welcome packs for the sister-festival delegations — delivered in time for the opening of the event and the diffuse calendar that reaches the historical cinemas of the regional circuit.
Festival Cinema Veneto is the regional cinema event that the Regione del Veneto and the Veneto Film Commission organise together with the municipalities of the cities hosting the screenings, the cultural Foundations of the Veneto Savings Banks and the sister festivals of the Italian film circuit, with a calendar of in-cinema screenings, meetings with the directors, training masterclasses, industry round tables, focuses on Triveneto directors, retrospectives dedicated to historic Veneto cinema and presentations of film-criticism books that reaches the historical cinemas of the regional circuit and the theatres of the regional capitals. The event was conceived as a public synthesis of the work that the Veneto Film Commission carries out year-round supporting independent productions that choose the Veneto as their set, and is addressed both to the professional community of Italian cinema (directors, producers, distributors, critics) and to the cultured public that follows the cultural calendar of the Triveneto cinemas.
For a merchandising programme around the Veneto regional cinema event, Corp-Merch.IT manages from its operational hub the full chain: reception of the master graphic files of the director, the independent production, the sister festival or the sponsor (AI, EPS, PDF/X-4 with CMYK images at 300 dpi, FOGRA39 colour profile for printing), adaptation for the different personalisation techniques (water-based screen printing on GOTS-certified organic cotton for textiles, hot stamping on FSC-certified paper for catalogues and event booklets, letterpress printing on Fabriano paper for posters and limited-edition art prints, blind embossing for the covers of the in-competition catalogues, laser engraving on Collodi wood for the small technical-jury prizes, customised glazing on Faenza ceramics for the masterclass awards), physical pre-production sample with Pantone colour map and technical sheet, production on Italian supply chains (Como textiles, Collodi wood, Faenza ceramics, Fabriano paper for catalogues, Murano glass for limited-award editions) and delivery to the historical cinemas of the regional circuit, the university venues involved or the director office on slots confirmed by the direction of the event.
The audience of the event is a combination of directors and independent producers who follow the calendar of screenings and round tables, students of the Cinema faculties of the Veneto universities (Ca’ Foscari, IUAV, University of Padova) who crowd the masterclasses and the meetings with directors, critics and trade journalists (Cineforum, Film Tv, Il Sole 24 Ore, Wired Italia, La Repubblica XL) who cover the event calendar, operators of the Triveneto banking foundations who follow the awards calendar, delegations of the sister festivals of the Italian film circuit who arrive for the opening and closing days, and the cultured public that follows the historical cinemas of the region. For each of these actors Corp-Merch.IT operates as an external B2B supplier, on the brief of the client, without any role of representation of the Veneto Film Commission, the Regione del Veneto, the municipalities hosting the screenings or the sister festivals of the circuit.
A recurring case for independent productions that accompany the event with their own merchandise programme is the catalogue of the works in competition that the production distributes on the occasion of the screenings and the meetings with directors, often in a low print run and with a format coordinated with the film presented or the editorial series of the production. For these jobs we propose a neutral graphic base coordinated with the production identity manual (graphic identity, dominant palette, film claim, work identification code), declined on a set of coherent articles (catalogue in FSC-certified paper with milled binding, bilingual film sheet Italian/English, letterpress poster in limited run, small coordinated stationery) and we add in a second wave the specific details of the single film presented (title, year, director, cast, synopsis) on a limited print run reserved for the professional public of the event. For Triveneto banking foundations that wish a coordinated merchandising with the patronage campaign we propose sets where the institutional colours of the foundation become the graphic base, with application of the logo and the foundation motto in a controlled and certified print run.
Most of the independent productions, the sister festivals and the publishing groups that run a merch programme for the Veneto regional cinema event coordinate their Italian operations from the Triveneto hub (Padova, Venezia or Verona), where the communication agencies, the graphic studios, the fine printers and the North-East production partners converge. The Veneto hub allows us to consolidate the production graphic files and the Pantone references with the brand team, run the physical pre-production sample on the Italian supply chains (Como textiles, Collodi wood, Faenza ceramics, Murano glass, Fabriano paper) and ship the lot to the historical cinemas of the regional circuit, the university venues involved or the reference hotel of the delegation on a very short courier window, twenty-four-forty-eight hours from the Triveneto. For programmes that combine an Italian production with an international distribution partner we manage bilingual materials (Italian and English at minimum) and, on request, full multilingual release with translations aligned to ISO 17100.
The event window is concentrated and must be prepared against a calendar that includes the historical cinemas and theatres setup days that open the previous Friday, the public and delegate opening days of the weekend, the screenings and round-table calendar during the week, the training masterclasses in the university lecture halls on Saturday, the technical-jury awards on the closing Sunday. For independent productions and foundations the gap between the confirmation of the presentation calendar and the event opening is normally less than ten weeks, and any object that must be at the cinema, the theatre or the university venue for the first day must be closed and shipped at least one week before the opening. We work backwards from that moment: production must close two-three weeks before the opening; the courier slot must be booked for the Thursday or Friday of the event week; the addressee list must be finalised at the same time as the screenings and round-table calendar confirmation; the details of the single film presented add only a small reprint to an already produced neutral graphic base.
For Italian clients with VAT number the invoice is issued through the Exchange System (SdI) of the Agenzia delle Entrate with application of 22% VAT in EUR; reduced rates of 4%, 5% or 10% available on the categories of products that allow them (publishing, art objects, limited-edition art prints). Reverse charge for intra-EU buyers registered with VIES, split payment for public administration entities and public universities, destination code or PEC for electronic invoice delivery. For clients subject to CSRD reporting (D.Lgs. 125/2024, which transposes Directive (EU) 2022/2464) we provide a sustainability sheet per order with Scope 3 CO₂e estimate according to the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain on the Milan-Triveneto route and from the production supply chains indicated.
Technical cartotecnica for in-competition catalogues, event booklets in FSC-certified paper with milled binding, bilingual film sheets Italian/English, letterpress posters in limited run on Fabriano paper, and binders for presentation at the event, in cinema schools and in the post-event deliveries to delegates and technical juries.
T-shirts in GOTS-certified organic cotton, light sweatshirts for the open-air screenings evenings, branded shirts in a neutral palette for the direction of the event and for the welcome staff of the historical cinemas during the screenings calendar and the meetings with directors.
Miniature design objects (miniatures in Collodi wood, small items in Faenza ceramics coordinated with the masterclass awards, letterpress prints in limited run, small prizes in Murano glass for the technical-jury awards) reserved for qualified conversations with directors, trade critics and operators of the Triveneto banking foundations.
Notebooks in FSC-certified paper, thermal drinkware coordinated with the event palette, premium pens, leather folders from Scandicci and premium gift boxes destined for the delegates of the sister festivals of the Italian film circuit (Pesaro, Torino, Trieste, Padova, Vicenza), invited critics and technical juries, delivered by name and booked in advance.
Before starting production, graphics, quantities per addressee, packaging and named receiving point must be confirmed. The final delivery address is defined close to the event against the calendar issued by the direction of the event and the marketing lead of each production or sponsor: the historical cinemas of the regional circuit (Multisala Porto Astra in Padova, Cinema Italia in Venezia, Cinema Rivoli in Verona, Cinema Odeon in Vicenza, Cinema Corso in Treviso) have their own access and constraints that must be coordinated with the respective contacts; the theatres and cultural centres of the Triveneto have distinct entrances for the public, delegations and loads; the Ca’ Foscari and IUAV university venues have access regulated by the respective porter offices. The ZTL of the historic centres of Venezia, Verona and Padova and the height limitations of the loading bays of the historical cinemas condition the access of couriers, and for this reason most teams opt for early-morning deliveries or after 19:30, when heavy vehicles are readmitted in the central ZTL areas.
For an Italian programme routed via Padova-Venezia-Verona, deliveries are consolidated at the Veneto hub and shipped to the historical cinemas of the regional circuit, the theatres and the university venues on twenty-four-forty-eight hour windows via BRT, SDA, GLS or DHL Express Italy, by appointment for venues that require telephone notice. For programmes above 1,000 pieces we offer appointment delivery with telephone notice and, on request, on-site installation by our staff at the cinema, the theatre or a staging hotel. For materials that require controlled environmental conditions (fine ceramics, Murano glass, small leather goods) we coordinate climate-controlled transport with specialised partners. For welcome kits destined for the sister-festival delegates we manage multilingual labelling (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic) and tamper-evident bag packaging with bilingual packing list in the name of the addressee.
For programmes that involve international partners — European independent productions, international sister festivals, foreign critics who follow the event calendar — we offer a welcome and logistical accompaniment service that covers the transfer from Venezia Marco Polo or Verona Villafranca, coordination with the Triveneto accommodation facility and management of dinners in the historical inns of the cities hosting the screenings. For those who wish a continuous presence also in the calendar of connected events throughout the year (winter and summer programmes, focuses on Veneto directors) we replicate the service on the whole year with a single operational contact and a dedicated MOQ price list.
Ten-twelve weeks before the opening of the event is the safest window for production in Italy and delivery to the historical cinemas of the regional circuit, the theatres and the university venues. Eight-nine weeks work when the product mix is simple, the production graphic is already approved and the quantities are already defined. For programmes that combine the event with the connected events throughout the year we replicate the lots on both windows with a single operational contact.
Only after the direction of the event or the production contact confirms the setup window, the loading lane and the named addressee. The historical cinemas of the regional circuit have their own access that must be coordinated with the individual operators; the theatres and university venues have distinct entrances for the public, delegations and loads that must be coordinated with the respective porter offices. Most teams opt for early-morning deliveries or after 19:30, when heavy vehicles are readmitted in the central ZTL areas.
Yes. The in-competition catalogue of the production, the event booklets, the staff and artistic direction kit, the gifts for directors and for the technical juries, the kits for the sister-festival delegations and the welcome packs for invited critics can be packed and labelled as separate lots, with distinct delivery addresses if the production manages more than one screening in the event calendar or if the foundation wishes a differentiated delivery between the operating office and the reference cinema. For programmes that involve more productions we replicate the lots per production and consolidate in labelled crates per logistical node.
