MORTICIAN

by Abdolreza Kahani

For the mastery with which all aspects of the cinematic work are handled, with effectiveness, economy and a strong artistic vision. An essential screenplay and masterly acting that fit perfectly with a visual and directorial style capable of producing an authentic and aesthetically distinctive language.

PAULINE BLACK: A 2-TONE STORY

by Jane Mingay

The film reconnects us with the era from which a series of social and political problems originate, whose consequences have reached their peak in the present day. At the end of the Seventies, the beginning of the overwhelming dominance of a deregulated financial capitalism, freed from public controls, produced a reaction both political and musical, from which lessons and inspiration can still be drawn today. The film confirms that music is also a vehicle of awareness and political content, capable of communicating through emotion, involvement and a sense of community between different generations and cultures.

Menzione speciale:
BUTTHOLE SURFERS: THE HOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUTT
by Tom Stern

For the skilful use of different styles and techniques, as well as for the ability to create an empathetic and intimate relationship with all the members of the band within an anarchic and iconoclastic context, in line with the group’s musical and existential approach, drawing from it a fully cinematic experience.

EQUAL DUST

by Jani Peltonen

For having interpreted the present day with sarcasm and incisiveness, combining in an original and compelling way – in a refined negotiation between images and sonic fabric – popular memory and anxieties about the immediate present.

Menzione speciale:
TESSITURA

INVINCIBILITY

by Niall Trusk

Doppia menzione speciale:

OUTRO
by Igor Klepnev
for Maslo Chernogo Tmina

For the innovation of language that, in its essentiality, carries the viewer into a perfectly combined flow of music and images.                                                                                       

CORE
di Helena Ganjalyan and Bartosz Szpak

FALENE

by Ivan Cazzola

For having told how Turin absorbed the vital drive of English club culture, creating a movement able to embrace electronic music without losing its punkish streak. Through archive materials and a plurality of voices, the film effectively describes how that experience redeemed the image of a city lacking in stimulation, leaving a legacy that never stops resisting.
