Dubbing is the norm for films or video programs being distributed in Italian. For over fifty years, Italy has been dubbing English films and have mastered the art.

Italian speakers are very gifted. They have a great sense of timing, and are quite intelligent and perspicacious in the sound room during dubbing sessions.

For Italian films being distributed in English, subtitles are the norm. However we urge Italian filmakers to dub their films in English. It would render their film productions more marketable and benefit viewers by offering them the total film experience.

Subtitles usually distract the viewer's perception of the images. In addition, subtitles tend to be expedient with words, so you often do not get the complete message. Film is not a fragmentary art form. By its very nature it tends to unify all the independent elements into a unified structure.

Subtitling is necessary in many cases but dubbing often seems more appropriate because it serves film's communicative purpose and offers the spectator a more enjoyable atmosphere with which to absorb the fullness of the cinematic art form.
