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

So many amazing things! It is hard to keep up with the pace of my own stuff sometimes, so the moment I would need to write a post they become two! So many gifts from life…

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!
