7 September 2026
On September 9 at 2:00 PM, during the Venice International Film Festival, Digital United Studios will take part in an exclusive panel at the Google Beach – Blue Lounge.
Giorgio Curti, CEO, and Stefano Ricci, Board Member and COO, will be joined by Andrea David Rizzi, Strategic Partnership Manager at YouTube, to discuss the success story of Film&Clips and the platform’s role in maximizing the value of film catalogues and new releases.
Today, Digital United Studios’ global YouTube network includes more than 180 channels in 15+ languages, with 14 million subscribers, over 2 billion views per year, and a catalogue of approximately 7,000 titles.
In Venice, Film&Clips 4K – Venice Film Festival Special Edition will also be presented: the new YouTube channel dedicated to major films that have made history at the Festival, restored and available in 4K.
The future of film distribution also runs through platforms like YouTube. As Gianluca Curti, President and Founder of Digital United Studios, states: “We are on the eve of a major transformation for our company. We will continue to stand out, leading this change and riding the wave of the future of the audiovisual industry.”
