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).

 

 

Also for this 13th Edition the Mediterranean Laboratory Foundation, as is the case since 1995, has collaborated with Alpe Adria Cinema – Triestefilmfestival conferring the International Award Laboratorio Mediterraneo 2002 to the best short film  "Int. Hôtel Nuit" by Swiss director Elena Hazanov.

This event can be considered – due to geographic position, choice and vocation – as an observatory of European changes; and its usual research on the cinema of the centre-eastern area is now accompanied by a research on an “elsewhere” other than what had been considered “elsewhere” by Europe until some years ago, after the second world war.
