La Sigla
La locandina 2020 è firmata dall’illustratore Luca Di Sciullo (www.lucadisciullo.com), che ha disegnato e animato anche la sigla dell’undicesima edizione.
Ho sempre sentito il mondo rurale come molto vicino a me. Mio nonno, un autentico contadino, scandiva le stagioni con i lavori da fare in campagna. Ogni tanto da piccolo andavo ad aiutarlo e vivevo quei momenti come se fossi all’interno di un film di cui lui era il protagonista. Mi portava a liberare le viti dalle erbacce, a dar l’acqua alle piante, a raccogliere le mele. Di quei momenti ricordo soprattutto gli odori: quello della terra appena arata, delle mele mature e l’inconfondibile profumo del Fiat 505c. Corto e Fieno per me sono due agricoltori, due amici, che al termine di una stancante giornata di lavoro nei campi riposano le braccia e illuminati dal maxischermo si godono un film nella frescura di una serata autunnale.

Film Awards
Three Meetings of the Extraordinary Committee, Jones, UK, Bulgaria 2020, 18′
For the caustic irony with which the meetings of a small extraordinary committee become a metaphor of the great changes in contemporary societies, transforming the voices outside the chorus into gears of the system.
Du Iz Tak?, Galen Fott, USA 2018, 11′
For bringing with a delicate look into the perennial cycle of nature and for the use of an incomprehensible language that reaches those who know how to listen in a simple and universal way.
Pishto’s Birthday, Sofia Kendel, Russia 2020, 11′
Through the strokes, colours and contrasts of animation, it illustrates the lights and shadows of a turbulent phase such as adolescence.
Mars, Oman, Vanessa Del Campo, Belgium 2019, 20′
For the ability to show how two apparently apart worlds coexist in a poetic balance within the same place.
Servis (The School Bus), Ramazan Kılıç, Turkey 2019, 14′
For the story of a world in which the private agricultural machinery is placed at the service of the Community.
Sparkekoret (The Kicksled Choir), Torfinn Iversen, Norway 2020, 18′
A collective point of view on the life in a small community of the Arctic Circle. The lonely and hard existence of a Norwegian farmer clashes and meets the loneliness of a refugee. The thread that links their lives is made apparent by a singing child.
Sopravvissuti all’Homo sapiens, Paolo Rossi, Nicola Rebora, Italy 2021, 19′
For the uncontaminated gaze without human interference on wildlife.
