And if you’re still dancing to the Gypsy notes from last night’s live scoring of “The Mystic”, well, know that you’re not the only one!
Today is the last day of #Concorto2024, so let’s hold back the tears and focus on the many events happening today.
At 6 PM, everyone head to the Salone Amici dell’Arte for the screening of the documentary created by the participants of the AUDIOVISIVA – STORIE DEL REALE workshop, led by Tomás Sheridan.
Then we’ll move to Parco Raggio for the closing night, where we’ll find out the winning shorts: Audience Award, Youth Jury, and Official Jury Awards. And after that, a feast of short films with “Concortissimo”, the shortest and most beautiful films straight from the Concorto archive.
As always, it’s time for the Asinelli d’Oro awards from the Asino Vola editorial team; thank you for following the festival through our reviews. It’s been a truly wonderful edition. See you in 2025!
Les Belles Cicatrices – Raphaël Jouzeau
L’asinello d’oro by Chiara Ghidelli
My *Asinello d’Oro* goes to *Les Belles Cicatrices*. For bringing together life and fairy tale, pain and wonder. For translating the language of memory into images and for reminding us of the beauty of scars.
Nuestra Sombra – Agustina Sánchez Gavier
L’asinello d’oro by Francesca Marchesini
I award my Asinello d’Oro to Nuestra Sombra by Agustina Sánchez Gavier for the innovative and bold way in which it depicts the relationship between humans and nature. I give my Special Mention to Ella se queda by Marinthia Gutiérrez for the skill with which the director has blended feminist ideals with an experimental language.
Tako Tsubo – Fanny Sorgo, Eva Pedroza
L’asinello d’oro by Virginia Marcolini
This year’s *Asinello d’Oro* goes to… TAKO TSUBO!!! In just six minutes, this animation manages to deliver a Cronenbergian tale of universal scope. In a world where we can remove the organs that cause us pain and continue living peacefully, what does our body become? The question of being or not being is surpassed and reinterpreted through a post-humanist lens, resulting in a resolute calmness that is nonetheless unsettling. The lingering sense of unease and melancholy is perfectly captured by the powerful visual imagery and the soundtrack. Yet, within this suspension, there seems to be peace.
A Move – Elahe Esmaili
L’asinello d’oro by Anna Vullo
My Golden Donkey Award goes to A Move for the simple and direct way in which director Elahe Esmaili addressed the awakening sparked by the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protest in Tehran, approaching this complex topic in the most straightforward way: by asking questions.
Auuuna – Lina Šuková
L’asinello d’oro di Virginia Carolfi
My Golden Donkey Award goes to a film from Concorto Kids, Auuuna, because it is not only a masterfully illustrated work, but also carries a message that we all should have heard as children: what we are told is not always true, and nature is often the only way to find our true selves.
