The most important guest are: VANESSA REDGRAVE, FRANCO NERO, LELLO ARENA, MAURIZIO NICHETTI, FRANCESCO ROSI, MEMÈ PERLINI, MARINA SUMA and PAOLO VILLAGGIO.

The Italian film "Il coraggio di parlare" by Leandro Castellani wins the festival, It is the story of a boy who is brave enough to breach the conspiracy of silence. "Joy" by young German director very keen on sci-fi Roland Emmerich is also in competition. In '88 he will come back with a second film, "Hollywood Monster". In this case the name of the film is somehow psychic as nowadays Emmerich makes blockbuster movies in the world's cinema capital.
