“The Wedding Cake” at Corto e a Capo – Mario Puzo Prize

Lovely with a new summer festival for The Wedding Cake! In this case, even more as we are talking about the Corto e a Capo – Premio Mario Puzo  festival, that is featured in many towns and villages in Apennines of southern Italy from 18 to 24 August 2021.

My short is finalist in the category Social Commitment prize and it would be great to get an award!

Selected for the “Bergman Talent Lab”!

I am SO happy and enormously proud – and very surprised, too!

Me and my miniseries project “Klara” are selected to take part to the “Talent Lab”, the annual budding talent event that takes place every end of June on the island of Fårö (Gotland), during the “Bergman Week”. In fact, the famous Swedish director Ingmar Bergman shot some of his masterpieces on this island, where he lived for the better part of his late life.

Every year, during the event, a handful of directors from Sweden that are considered talented are selected by Film på Gotland for some special workshops and seminars. This year the number was restricted to 8, but still, I got to be one of them! Please celebrate with me, I am so delighted!

 

“The Wedding Cake” at the Roma Cinema DOC

Nice with a new festival in my hometown! The Wedding Cake selected by the Roma Cinema DOC, festival selection number 65 for my little film!

Back to the Sa.Fi.Ter Festival with “The Wedding Cake”!

I am so glad to be back with The Wedding Cake to one of the best Italian festivals, the Salento Finibus Terrae International Short Film Festival (aka Sa.Fi.Ter) where I won an award 5 years ago with “Dignity”! It feels like going back home and I would have love to be there in person at the stunning Teatro Verdi of San Severo, in Apulia. That area has a special place in my heart and I would have loved to visit again (among other things, to enjoy the best food in the world – I am not exaggerating!).

I am competing in the Human Right section, and the festival will take place 19-20 June, go if you can!
