(SNCCI)
(National Union of Italian Film Critics.) Association. Founded in 1971, the SNCCI is the association that brings together film critics in Italy. Partly funded by the Ministry for Culture, it carries out a series of activities aimed at promoting Italian cinema, which include the publication of the prestigious quarterly journal Cinecritica, the organization of a special week of screenings and critical discussion of films during the Venice Festival, and a number of conferences and round tables held throughout the year in all the major Italian cities. Since 2003 it maintains a very active website at www.sncci.it.
