INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM AWARD

The official festival panel composed by Valentina Carnelutti (Actress and Director), Irene Dionisio (Director) and Valia Santella (Screenwriter and Director) conferred two awards.

In a selection of movies that highlights how weak is becoming the border between a movie and a documentary -unanimously sustain the panel- the crucial subject it’s the definition and the reclamation of a cultural, social and emotional identity and nonetheless of the necessary words to do so: the building of an alphabet, a dictionary that will allow us to tell about this present and imagine the future.

Cameraperson Kirsten Johnson (Stati Uniti, 2016, 102’)
Within the following reasons:
We have chosen this move because of its completeness, it does indeed gather together all the three festival subjects still being technically very accurate. Through the eye of a professional, western yet critic against it, this movie bring us to know the ugly aspects of the word without losing elegance, respect and kindness. There’s an empathic relation between who’s filming and who’s getting filmed in which the movie camera is not anymore a cold object but in a concern becomes alive. The choice to structure the movie as a journal gives the opportunity to understand the operator in his own intricacy, a discreet but intrusive presence.
