The Rome Film Festival (November 8-17, 2013) is an extraordinary box-office success: during the first three days of advance sales, over ten thousand tickets were sold. The top sellers were the films in Competition and Out of Competition. The public also chose the Italian films, demonstrating particular interest in the films of the CinemaXXI Competition and in the meetings with directors and actors.
