Finalist for Best Director Award at Noto Int. Film Fest – Mario Monicelli Prize!

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.

“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!

Gala screening of “The Wedding Cake” at FipaDoc!

I am so glad that FipaDoc managed to host a theatrical screening of their magnificent festival in Biarritz! The event is due 12-17 June and The Wedding Cake will be screened hors concours during the gala that will be held on 16 June, in between awards.

It is really exciting to think of my short on the big screen again, after so many months of online festivals! How I wish I were able to attend…
