Nicola Liguori Honored at the Venice Film Festival

During the esteemed Venice Film Festival, celebrated film producer Nicola Liguori was recognized with the "2025 Unconventional Excellence" award presented by Forbes Italia. Known for his work in promoting social engagement through cinema, Liguori shares this accolade with other prominent figures in the film industry, such as renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli.

This award is a testament to Liguori's outstanding career in the film industry and highlights his commitment to using films as vehicles for social change. The "Unconventional Excellence 2025" award, established by Forbes Italia, celebrates individuals in the film industry who continually push boundaries through innovation and courage. Nicola Formichella, President of Forbes Italia, stated, "Success does not have to be hidden; with strength and determination, success can be a collective value."

Liguori co-leads Pro Format Comunicazione with partners Tommaso Ranchino and Simona Maurelli, collaborating on over 50 films tackling complex themes, transforming cinema into a tool for raising awareness and social action. MP Film, in conjunction with Pro Format Comunicazione, has had five films selected for the official competition of the Venice International Film Festival, including the 2025 entry, "The Light in the Crevice," directed by Anselma Dell’Olio. This underscores their ability to craft narrative works that resonate deeply with audiences and stimulate meaningful discussions.

The timing of this recognition is crucial for Liguori and his team, who are currently expanding their socially conscious film model into the United States. With their expertise and techniques being introduced to new markets, the team strengthens its international mission. Liguori, based in Miami, expressed, "This award acknowledges our work and our passion for utilizing film as a tool for social transformation. Having reached such a significant milestone in Italy, we are now committed to expanding our model from our U.S. base, which is the hub of the global industry, and continue creating content that inspires, influences, and ignites discussions."

This latest accolade comes shortly after Liguori received the "Oscar of the Ports" award earlier this year in Miami, further affirming his and his team’s international mission. They are transmuting cinema into a universal language that serves health, fashion, music, and collective welfare.
