“Dignity” at the KO&digital and the 3 Little Wolves festivals!

Dignity is selected for two more festivals, the KO&digital (with screening of November 9) and the 3 Little Wolves, aka the “Children First: Anthropological Film Festival of Children and Youth”. Both of them are really cool festival, with lots of deep and interesting issues, mind and heart opening. I am so happy!

“Dignity” wins the “Children World” prize at the Salento Finibus Terrae!

This piece of news is actually a couple of months old, as this all happened at the end of July! But as I was trekking on mountain tops back then, I decided to wait for the announcement until I received a courier with my winning award, so that I could show it to you!
