I am really thrilled to remain in my beloved Sicily for this very last summer with The Wedding Cake! This time for one of the biggest short film festivals of this region, the Catania Corti in Cortile Short Film Festival!
The festival has a very intense program that stretches from 15 to 19 September 2021.
What a blast! The editor of The Wedding Cake, Mikael Moiner, won the prize for “Best Editing Award” at the lovely Noto International Film Festival, Sicily. The statuette is on its way, both Mikael and I will show it with pride as soon as received!
The ceremony can be watched on Facebook at this link, the part that involves us starts at around 8:24, and both Mikael and I are proud about the motivation of the jury (which included stellar film experts, among them Steve Della Casa): “An extraordinary visual and audio montage made of frequent cuts and flash images that gives body and expressive quality to the voiceover story, offering a luminous film version of a desperate life.” The president of the jury, Liotta, also mentioned the high quality and the technical maturity of this work. Nice!
It’s been a fruitful and exciting summer again for The Wedding Cake! Now I am finalist for the “Best Director Award” in one of the most beautiful towns in the world: Noto, Sicily. I am competing at the Noto International Film Festival, reaching its fifth edition this year, for the award entitled to the famous Italian comedy director Mario Monicelli. The festival will end on 31 August 2021.
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!
I am so surprised, delighted and overwhelmed for having won the award for Best Short Animation with “The Wedding Cake” at the magnificent Beirut International Women Film Festival!
I want to thank the festival organizers, the jury and the audience for this delightful recognition to my little film!
Please party with me!
Back to Italy again for a lovely show organized with passion by the directress Clelia Di Briggido in the enchanting medieval town of Moresco (Fermo)!
Corti al Castello will take place 31 July – 2 August and The Wedding Cake is scheduled for the first show on Saturday night, beginning 9:30 pm. It would have been lovely to attend!
I feel so lucky The Wedding Cake is featuring in the very important festival!
It is the first time for the Middle East, and I have longed for this premiere! The Beirut International Women Film Festival will take place July 19 to 24 and my short will be screened on Tuesday 20 July at 5 pm.
Glad that such a prestigious festival such as the International Tour Film Festival of Civitavecchia selected The Wedding Cake!
The 10th edition of the event will take place 29 September to 3rd October 2021.
So delighted The Wedding Cake won the fourth edition of the lovely Settimo Short Film Festival in Settimo Milanese (Milan) Italy! Here’s the video I made to celebrate the occasion!
Thank you Associak Distribuzione for the incredible dedicated work done on distributing my short, it led to wonderful results ❤
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!
