\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>I am soooo surprised and delighted! I was so thrilled when I was notified that “The Wedding Cake” had been selected by RVK Fem Film Fest<\/a> in the first place and honestly that was more than enough for me!<\/p>\n

Imagine my surprise when Mar\u00eda Lea \u00c6varsd\u00f3ttir told me I had won!<\/p>\n

Here’s the jury motivation: \u201cThe “Sister Award” for International Film goes to a short film that, at just under 4 minutes, packs a powerful story punch. A young woman is forced to become a prostitute in order to settle her husband’s debts. Her destiny is narrated in a powerful voice over through Playmobil figures and a wedding cake that disappears along with the woman’s illusions.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Sister Award goes to Director Monica Mazzitelli for her short film, “Wedding Cake.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I want to thank everyone that made it possible, first of all my wonderful genious husband Mikael Moiner Photography<\/a> that did all the shooting, editing and colorgrading, Adriana Rosati<\/a> who is the visual artist of the cake and the scenography, Astrid Hall\u00e9n<\/a> that gave her voice to my “Anna”, Veli-Matti \u00c4ij\u00e4l\u00e4 for the music and Riccardo Cimino<\/span><\/a> from Suonilab<\/a> for the audio master, Amer Kapetanovi\u0107 as additional lighting and Giulia Colavolpe Severi for the translations.
\nFurthermore – or first of all! – I want to thank\u00a0 Simon H\u00e4ggstr\u00f6m<\/a> for his restless fight against prostitution and the organization Talita<\/a> that works 24\/7\/365 to give young victims of the sex trade an opportunity to start a new life. This project is dedicated to you as it would not have been possible without you\u00a0 \"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
