Medusa Film S.p.A.
 PROFILE
This Medusa doesn't want to turn you to stone, but to crack you up with laughter. Medusa Film, the movie production and distribution arm of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Fininvest, is one of Italy's leading purveyors of comedy (the most successful genre for Italian films). It grooms its own comics for the big screen (the company struck gold with the trio Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo) and distributes foreign films in Italy (such as the US's "What Women Want" and "Autumn in New York"). The company also is building multiplex theaters across the country and has an agreement with Imax Corporation to open six Imax theaters over the next several years.
