The 16th edition of Reggio Film Festival just ended. Below you can find the list of short movies that received an award.

INTERNATIONAL JURY
The International Jury, composed by Sandra Campanini, Lorenzo Caravello, Matteo Nucci, Ado Hasanovic and Lorenza Sansone, assigned to HOW TOMMY LEMENCHICK BECAME A GRADE 7 LEGEND by Bastien Alexandre (Canada) the award. "For the freshness of the concept and of the storytelling. The work portraits a heroic world without rhetoric where teens dreams ironically turn into the expectations of us all".

A Special Mention was assigned to the German short WATU WOTE by Katja Benrath ("For its message of hope, sympathy and solidarity among people with different religious beliefs and its realistic style of narration and remarkable film technique. The heroic message is conveyed by a humankind in search of peace and mutual dialogue.” and to French short LE GRAND BAIN directed by Valérie Leroy ("For the original touch of the concept. A film about a true hero getting back control over her life and building her professional role in a new social context, becoming at the same time the point of convergence of a weird and regular community").
SNCCI JURY
The SNCCI Emilia Romagna – Marche Jury, composed by Luisa Ceretto, Lapo Gresleri and Gianluca Stanzani assigned the Award for the “Best Short Movie” to LO COTIDIANO by David Lara (Spain) "for its ability to narrate with originality the present-day topic of bullying, and to show how an attitude of indifference can be equally guilty to the behaviour of those who commit the disgraceful act of offending the dignity of the human being. A ten-minute short film that, despite dealing with the serious problem that afflicts actual society and the school, avoids rhetoric and high-minded sentiments, but indeed hit the audience to the point of installing an emotional relationship with the victim."

USAC JURY
The USAC Jury, composed by 20 students from USA who are attending an educational program in Reggio Emilia, assigned the first prize to the German short movie WATU WOTE by Katja Benrath, "for the thematic point of view, the film interrupts the circle of violence between two religions and encourage a sense of community. For the visual component and how space and colors reflect the evolutions of the protagonists values during the film. For the narrative structure that manifest with originality the complexity of religions and the way they influence human behavior."

THE WINNER OF THE XV EDITION OF REGGIO FILM FESTIVAL
The 15th edition of Reggio Film Festival just ended with a very successful evening during which the director Ado Hasanovic introduced to a very crowded hall the screening of the short movie Trip. This work is the result of the workshop held by Ado Hasanovic with Director of Photography Leonardo Kurtz and the participation of many attendees.

Below you can find the list of short movies that received an award.

INTERNATIONAL JURY
The International Jury, composed by Gabriele Vacis (Jury’s President), Baptiste Bertheuil, Emilie Dubois, Ado Hasanovic, Marco Righi, assigned to Madam Black by Ivan Barge the award as "a movie that stands out for the originality of its concept developed in a delicate, but very consistent way. The result is a simple and efficient short film, amusing and deep touching at the same time, especially in describing of the relationship between the photographer and the little girl. Actors suit perfectly to the plot managing to preserve the leading role to the extraordinary character of Madam Black".

A Special Mention was assigned to Nelly by Chris Raiber for the technical quality of the short film expressed with images of great beauty. A professional talent boost an astonishing editing and script. The story turning point brings the audience into the drama of the main character, causing to experience the feelings of panic when facing death.

SNCCI JURY
The SNCCI Emilia Romagna – Marche Jury, composed by Lapo Gresleri, Pierpaolo Loffreda and Gianluca Stanzani, unanimously assigned the Award for the “Best Short Movie” to La méthode Greenberry by Baptiste Bertheuil, for its dark humor typical of French comedy and for the depicting with an light touch, yet not superficial, the sensitive topic of gender disparity in workplace. This ability reminds us how movies still are a powerful mean of observation and discussion of social matters of our times.

USAC JURY
The USAC Jury, composed by 15 students from USA who are attending an educational program in Reggio Emilia, assigned the first prize to the Spanish short Movie Dada by Maria Luna, "for the way audiences are led to empathize with the characters and the bond between them.

LAITY AWARD 2015: THE WINNER
INIZIATIVA LAICA, in agreement with REGGIO FILM FESTIVAL, during the Days of Laicality 2015 has assigned the "Award for an aesthetic of Laicality" to the short movie ELECTRIC INDIGO by Jean-Julien Collette for the following reasons:

"The Author explored with courage the theme of personal choices in terms of sexuality and family far from traditional schemes in a way that perfectly fits the theme of this edition of “Days of Laity”: Freedom of Choice. Keeping a distance from any moralistic approach, this work reflects over the huge difficulties of the psychological preservation of a relationship that stands outside of any recognized social model (marriage between two heterosexual men, parenthood without blood ties…). Still a relationship that finds a fulfillment in a deep and emotional bond."

The winner of the Audience Jury Award is AUSSTIEG RECHTS by Bernhard Wenger e Rupert Höller.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE - SHORT FILMS AT THE MUSEUM!
Friday, April 17, 2015, at the Civic Museums of Reggio Emilia, from 7 p.m., aperitif accompanied by DJ Olivier Manchion.
Next, the screening of the shorts that have participated in the announcement by the theme "Freedom of Choice", section of Reggio Film Festival, and proclamation of the winning short.

THE WINNERS OF THE 13TH REGGIO FILM FESTIVAL
INTERNATIONAL JURY
The international jury of the thirteenth edition of the Reggio Film Festival, consisting of Beryl Richards, Ivan Moliterni, Dalila Missero, has chosen as Best Short Film in "F for Fake" theme:

BORDER PATROL by Peter Baumann (Germany), for its ability to express the theme of Fake with a surreal language, but in a real life context.

Furthermore, the jury decided to assign a special mention to SINCERIDAD by Andrea Casaseca (Spain), for its ability to develop a simple idea with courage and synthesis.

AUDIENCE AWARD
The Popular Jury, made up by the audience, awarded as best short film of this edition
LOOT Greg Rom (South Africa)

SOUND AWARD
The Sound Award, in collaboration with RCF SpA, has been assigned to
LUMINARIS by Juan Pablo Zaramella (Spain), for its ability to include a non original soundtrack in the narrative structure, so that becomes integral part of the story, in an ironic contrast with the alienating environment of the factory, invoking a “chaplinian” atmosphere.

STAFF MENTION
Furthermore, the Reggio Film Festival’s staff decided to award with a special mention the short-movie
A L'AMIABLE by Rémy Cayuela (France), for its ability to make fun, in a light, ironic and never unpleasant way, of the difficult task of saving a couple by the problem caused by son’s education. This result is reached with a solid script, supported by the excellent performance of all the actors.

SNCCI JURY
The SNCCI Jury of Emilia Romagna – Marche, composed by Luisa Ceretto, Francesco Grieco and Gianluca Stanzani has awarded as best short film of Reggio Film Festival 2014:
MY STRANGE GRANDFATHER from Russian director Dina Velikovskaya, for its original ability to deal with the ecological theme of recycling, and with the theme of link between generations; both topics of current interest. With a touch of fantasy and imagination, even the simplest everyday objects, when seen with the right eye for example those of a grandfather, can reborn again. Objects that become something else in a different world, where feelings and emotions return to play an important role. A fine tale with fairy tones, expressed with an animation of high technical level and perfectly successful, able to fascinate not only kids but also older audience.

The jury also decided to mention BAHAR IN WONDERLAND by the Iranian director Behrooz Karamizade, for dealing a topical issue with sensitivity and poetry, without being to academic or otherwise shallow. Through the innocent eyes of the small Kurdish Bahar, lost in a city she doesn’t know, Karamizade makes us part of the disorientation of the exiled from all over the world. Thus, the denied infancy of Bahar, escaped from Syria to Germany, and her shelter in fantasy become universal existential condition, and a metaphor never crude, of every compelled adaptation and creative attempt in the difficulties of uprooting.

JIřÍ KYLIÁN GUEST OF REGGIO FILM FESTIVAL 2014
