MEDITERRANEAN AWARDS

In 1996, the Fondazione Mediterraneo instituted the Mediterranean Awards (with various categories) that are granted every year to eminent personalities from the worlds of arts and culture, politics and science and social disciplines, whose actions have contributed to reducing tensions, breaking down cultural barriers and developing shared values in the Greater Mediterranean.

This Award is considered one of the most prestigious acknowledgements in the world.

Various events are associated with the Mediterranean Award, such as the “Euro-Mediterranean Concert for Dialogue Among Cultures” and the “Epiphany Concert” (organized by the Cultural Centre “Oltre il Chiostro” in collaboration with the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The latter event is broadcast by RaiUno and Rai International throughout the world every year on the morning of January 6th).

Observatory, between past and present, of European changes, Alpe Adria Cinema proposes again this year a programme full of suggestions which, all together, allow to detect different pathways and original signals, to emphasize trends and author’s routes in the cinematographic production of the European Middle-Eastern area, which has always been, since the beginning, the object of this event.

Included, according to the theme dealt with, into the different sections of the Festival, all the films produced or come out in 1998/99 and presented during this 11th Edition competed for Premio Trieste; the same criterion was applied to the short and medium fiction films that competed for the International Award Laboratorio Mediterraneo.

The Prize was awarded to Lendulet/Momento (Hungary, 2000), directed by Imre Juhàsz, because among the different heterogeneous competing works, the film stood out for the quality of sound, photography and the narrative technique chosen.
