We are proud to announce that the short film La notte diurna (The Daily Night), directed by Pasquale Mattia Gelorini, received the Honorable Mention from the jury of the prestigious Cefalù Film Festival. This award was given to works of great artistic and emotional value, thanks to its ability to deal with universal themes with a delicate and intimate cinematic language.
The short film was appreciated for its poetic and moving exploration of the theme of the end of life, highlighting human vulnerability in the face of death.
The jury particularly praised the film's ability to convey universal emotions, emphasizing its skillful use of light and shadow as powerful symbols of the conflict between life and death. The contrast between Marco's ailing body and the vivid memories of his life with Alice creates a profound emotional impact, prompting the viewer to reflect on the value of time and the relationships that define our existence.
Day Night will be screened on Nov. 2, 2024 at the Astro Cinema in Cefalù, and the awards ceremony will take place on Nov. 3 at the Cefalù Sea Palace.
