VENICE, Italy, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of the iconic Venice Film Festival, Nicola Liguori, renowned film producer and founder of MP Film Italia and NYV Entertainment USA, was honored—alongside Andrea Bocelli and other leading talents in the industry—with the "Unconventional Excellence 2025" award by the prestigious Forbes magazine. The recognition celebrates his outstanding career in the film industry and his commitment to socially engaged cinema.
Unconventional Excellence 2025 is a prestigious award presented by Forbes Italia to individuals who, with courage and innovation, push boundaries in the film industry. "Success is not something to be hidden: with strength and determination, it can become a collective value," said Nicola Formichella, CEO of Forbes Italia.
Together with his partner Tommaso Ranchino and in collaboration with Pro Format Comunicazione, led by Simona Maurelli, Liguori has built a legacy of over 50 film productions that tackle complex themes and transform cinema into a tool for awareness and social action.
With five official selections at the Venice International Film Festival, including the 2025 edition with "The Light in the Crevice" by Anselma Dell'Olio, MP Film and Pro Format Comunicazione have proven their ability to create narratives that resonate with broad audiences and stimulate meaningful dialogue.
This recognition comes at a strategic time for the team, as they expand their model of social cinema into the United States, bringing their expertise and know-how to a new market and strengthening their international mission.
"This award is a recognition of our work and our passion for using cinema as a tool for social change. After achieving such important milestones in Italy, we're now working to expand our model from our U.S. base—at the heart of the global industry—and continue creating content that inspires, impacts, and sparks conversation," said Nicola Liguori, who currently resides in Miami.
Following the Oscar of the Ports award received in Miami earlier this year, this new recognition further confirms the international vocation of Nicola Liguori and his team, who are turning cinema into a universal language in service of health, fashion, music, and collective well-being.
