CICT - ICFT PRESENTS:

​

CICT - ICFT AWARD "ENRICO FULCHIGNONI"

​

THE AWARD

​

At its 35th edition, this Prix can be considered the most significant cinematographic acknowledgement awarded by ICFT-UNESCO to the movie presented at the Venice International Film Festival best representing the values of peace and tolerance promoted by UNESCO.

It is dedicated to the memory of the late ICFT President Enrico Fulchignoni, a distinguished official of UNESCO who served as Responsible for Culture for a long time.

Fulchignoni was a director and a professor at the Sorbonne University.

He was a great promoter of Neorealism in cinema and of rising stars such as Michelangelo Antonioni. Tireless and intrepid launcher of initiatives, Fulchignoni established the Ouagadougou, Damascus, MIFED and Moscow Festivals, as well as the creation of the Escluela Internacional del Cine Latinoamericano in Cuba and many other events.

It is important to remember Venezia Genti, an official section of the Venice International Film Festival in the 1980s, dedicated to young authors, especially from emerging countries.

This Prix constitutes the ideal continuation of his work in this field. The winner of the Prix, who is awarded UNESCO’s “Medaglia Fellini”, is announced at the Festival during a dedicated press conference, whereas the awarding ceremony will take place at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.

​

IO CAPITANO

​

 by Matteo Garrone

With the following motivation:
For the originality of a counterview from Africa to Europe along the Mediterranean route embodied in a writing pervaded with authentic testimonies of migrants while being transfigured in the pictorial-photographic formal elegance of a style freed from stereotypes and rhetoric. Matteo Garrone with Io Capitano admirably fosters undeniable principles such as the protection of human rights, the fight against social and cultural marginalization, solidarity and care for human beings, in an itinerary of hope toward other possible future opportunities for the new generations.

 

We are therefore honoured to declare Director Matteo Garrone the winner of the 35th CICT UNESCO “Enrico Fulchignoni” Award for the outstanding work of Io Capitano, with the conferral of the UNESCO Fellini Medal to the Delegate Nicola Claudio, President and Director of Rai Cinema.
