It’s indicative of Del Brocco’s success that while Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” will be put out by a studio in nearly all countries, in Italy it will be by Rai Cinema’s 01 Distribution. While the role of public broadcasters remains challenged in parts of Europe, under Del Brocco the production-distribution company remains a vital part of Italy’s film landscape. At this year’s socially distanced Venice Film Festival, the company had 18 films, with three in competition and Daniele Luchetti’s opener “The Ties.” In June, it unveiled a 20-film slate featuring productions with Nanni Moretti (“Three Floors”), Gianfranco Rosi (“Notturno”), Susanna Nicchiarelli (“Miss Marx”), Gabriele Mainetti  (“Freaks Out”) and “The Land of Dreams,” starring “Versailles’” actor George Blagden.
