Milazzo Film Festival Announces Excellence Awards and Opens Volunteer Applications
The Milazzo Film Festival is gearing up for its next edition, having recently announced its Excellence Awards and launched an “Open Call for Volunteers.”
Excellence Acting Award – tonio De Nicola
Tonio De Nicola will receive the Excellence Acting Award after a live performance featuring excerpts from his book of stories, Brividi Immorali, currently in its second edition. De Nicola shared, “My relationship with dance was a love affair (on my part, at least, not reciprocated by dance). However, my professional relationship with cinema and theater was a marriage of convenience. As often happens,the marriage of convenience proved happier than the love affair,and I fell in love with acting,though it took some time. I continue to doubt my abilities as an actor, and each award leaves me wondering if I truly deserve it. I except this award more as a generous gift than a recognition of merit, and I thank those who bestowed it upon me as one would thank someone for a very welcome present.”
Excellence Acting Award – Monica Guerritore
The path of Monica Guerritore differs significantly, as she has been a working actress since childhood, with a long career in theater (including playwriting) and cinema (also as a director). Following in the tradition of recognizing multifaceted talent, as previously done with Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Sergio Rubini, Sonia Bergamasco, and Michele riondino, the festival aims to celebrate the richness of actors’ work. Guerritore stated from Paris, where she was attending a French preview of her film curated by the Institute of Italian Culture, “I am honored by this award. It is particularly meaningful as it comes during a festival dedicated to actors, especially after creating Anna, about Anna Magnani – a work that not only portrays a grate actress but also the challenges of pursuing the craft in a cinema one loves. Beyond the recognition of my work as an actress, playwright, and filmmaker, which began on stage at age 15, I am delighted to be holding a masterclass on Magnani, cinema, and acting for high school students following the screening of my film.”
