Abstract: Between 2023 and 2025, Italy's film and audiovisual sector underwent a significant regulatory reform, primarily involving the overhaul of the tax credit system established by Law 220/2016. The reform aimed to improve the efficiency and sustainability of public support, responding to budget overruns and a proliferation of unreleased films. Key changes included tighter eligibility criteria, spending caps on certain cost items, and reinforced distribution requirements. While intended to ensure better resource allocation and foster a more market-oriented industry, the new rules sparked controversy, especially among independent producers. This paper examines the motivations behind the reform, its main features, and the potential long-term implications for Italy's audiovisual policy framework.
