Enrico Ghezzi (born 26 June 1952) is an Italian film critic, essayist, documentarist, screenwriter and occasional actor.
Enrico Ghezzi was born in Lovere, in the province of Bergamo. He later moved to Genoa and enrolled at the University of Genoa. While there, he began attending the Filmstory film club, and in 1974, together with Teo Mora and Marco Giusti, he founded the cinema magazine Il Falcone Maltese. In 1978, he won a competition for programmer-director for the Genoa office of Rai 3. He then moved to Rome, where he worked on Rai 3's film programming from 1980 onwards.[1]
Ghezzi created and supervised several well-known Italian television programs, such as Fuoriorario, Blob, and Schegge.[2] Fuori Orario cose (mai) viste, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2024, has been regarded as a unique point of reference for several generations of viewers, film enthusiasts, critics, and filmmakers.[3][4][5]
Ghezzi served as artistic director of the Taormina Film Fest from 1991 to 1998.[2]
