AWARDS CEREMONY

An LIS interpreter will be present at the awards ceremony

The Pesaro Film Festival has always focused on cinema as a form that is thought, and year after year has sought out not only new cinema, but also a new criticism of innovative tools and lan- guages. Such as in the retrospectives on Thom Andersen, with his striking reflections on the image in audiovisual form, and pioneer André S. Labarthe’s groundbreaking Cinéastes de notre temps; and the 2015 video essay workshop that explored emerging forms of film criticism.

In the following editions, we implemented the (Re)Edit Competition for film students from uni- versities across the world and for the students of secondary schools.

The curators, Chiara Grizzaffi and Andrea Minuz, have selected the video essays they considered most original and interesting:

- Andrej Tarkovskij, Acqua, Claudio Grillo, Francesca Marra, Francesco Moretta, Pierpaolo Scurria Calì, Università La Sapienza

- Chantal Akerman: The Private and The Public, Tiziana Rovere, Elena Lacunza Sanabdon, Chiara Cucciniello Gomez, Stella Capolicchio, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti

- Ferris Bueller's Day Off: A Queer Revisit, Adi Beck, The Steve Tisch School of Film and Television, Tel Aviv University

- My Love Letter to Spirited Away, Jasmyne Le, Wesleyan University

- Scorrette e vulnerabili. Le protagoniste del cinema di Andrea Arnold, Eleonora Pizzamiglio, Università Iulm

- Silly, Isn’t It?, Teodoro Di Giorgio, Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti

- Sull’Uso Politico Della Soggettiva Libera Indiretta, Valentino Pirola, Giuliano Tomarchio, Università La Sapienza

Among these titles, the jury composed of Fabio Bobbio, Carlo Griseri and Fiaba Di Martino will select the best video essay.

The Italian Film Critics National Union and the Pesaro Film Festival propose a competition for film critics/reviewers named after Lino Miccichè (founder of the Pesaro Film Festival along with Bruno Torri) to bring young students closer to the critical work in the field of cinema and to the activities of research that the festival has been carrying out on an international level over all these years.
