\nA wonderful and extraordinary edition that only a few months ago seemed impossible. A big thank you to whoever made it possible and to whoever joined us: we hope you enjoyed our reviews.<\/p>\n

While we carefully observe the sky and try to understand what to do, do not miss the second part of the Focus Lithuania<\/strong><\/a> at 6 pm in Palazzo Ghizzoni, this year\u2019s last screening in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n

And what about tonight? We will inform you as soon as possible, in any case, do not forget that this evening we will announce the Public Award, the Young Jury Award, the Grand Jury Prize, and the Asino d\u2019Oro 2020.
\nAnd here, as usual, the Asinello d\u2019Oro<\/strong> award from the AsinoVola newsroom<\/strong> (Sofia Brugali, Alice Capitani, Virginia Carolfi, Margherita Fontana, Vanessa Mangiavacca, Irene Pagano, Anna Vullo).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”20″ bottom_padding=”20″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”8228,8316,8341,8180,8064,8099,8250,8248,8230,8203,8271,8292,8343″ display_title_caption=”true” layout=”fullwidth” item_spacing=”default” constrain_max_cols=”true” gallery_style=”3″ load_in_animation=”none” img_size=”600×403″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

Asinello d’oro awarded by Sofia Brugali – Still Working | Julietta Korbel<\/span><\/h5>\n

During the XIX edition of Concorto Film Festival I fell in love with three audiovisual works, out of competition, whose core theme is musicality. Three works from three different focuses: the music video Dancers<\/em> by Plaid; the short experimental film The Lament<\/em> by Joe Duffy, accompanied by a remix of the song Keen for a Dead Child as performed by Kitty Gallagher; and last but not least the animated documentary The Fourfold<\/em> by Telengut Alisi, a plastic rendition of the track Wave, born from the mystical collaboration between Huun Huur Tu and the Bulgarian Voices Angelite.
\nStill, it is silence that completes the images of Still Working<\/em> by Julietta Korbel, my annual Asinello d’Oro. The meaningful and opaque photography, the intimate plot and the main character’s incisive performance make this short film a comprehensive work, which deals with the human effort to accept time and the changes that come with it.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Asinello d’oro awarded by Alice Capitani – Homeless Home | Alberto V\u00e1zquez<\/span><\/h5>\n

I would like to give my Asinello d\u2019Oro to a short film that, though after days, still comes back to my mind. I am talking about Spanish director Alberto V\u00e1zquez\u2019s animation Homeless Home<\/em>: in a dark and disquieting world, whose only touch of color is the red of blood, the most disquieting thing is not as much its inhabitants \u2013 witches, ogres, skeletons -, as the despair that haunts them. Well-characterized, ironical, excessively human, the characters have lost their hope: though they do not feel at home, they cannot escape this nearly rotten reality. After giving up, they indulge, if not normalize, human vices, from alcoholism to violence, stirring up great discomfort in us in recognizing a world that is all too familiar.
\nA striking short that makes us question our society, somehow giving us a glimmer of hope: though trapped in a corrupted society, we can try to reject, at least for a while, its resigned and fatalistic mentality.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Asinello d’oro awarded by Virginia Carolfi – T | Keisha Rae Witherspoon<\/span><\/h5>\n

My Asinello d’Oro goes to T<\/em>, by Keisha Rae Witherspoon, because during a crazy year like this, sometimes it seems to me that the only answer possible is reacting with the same craziness. The aesthetics of those taking part in the T Ball<\/em>, the costumes, and Dimples’ unbeatable accent won my heart.<\/p>\n

Special mention to Dina Velikovskaja’s Uzi<\/em> (Ties) for the immense delicacy with which it deals with a theme that, as an archetype, is present in everyone’s life: the painful but necessary cutting of the umbilical cord that binds us to our parents, so to transform it into a rope that can help us overcome the challenge of self-affirmation.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Asinello d’oro awarded by Margherita Fontana – Clean with me (After dark) | Gabrielle Stemmer<\/span><\/h5>\n

My Asinello d\u2019Oro goes to Clean with Me (After Dark)<\/em>, Gabrielle Stemmer\u2019s wonderful experimental documentary. I believe this short film is the feminist gem that stands out in our selection, a contemporary representation of the slogan \u201cThe personal is political\u201d, as seen in the social media era.
\nAfter saying this, a special mention goes to Apfelmus<\/em>, Alexander Gratzer\u2019s animation: it may be because I studied philosophy, but watching existentialist animals who seem to quote Nietzsche is not only unexpected but also definitely entertaining.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Asinello d’oro awarded by Vanessa Mangiavacca – Symbiosis | Nadja Andrasev<\/span><\/h5>\n

Seeing the most hidden aspects of your psyche externalized and depicted on screen is definitely striking. My Asinello d\u2019Oro goes to Symbiosis<\/em> (Nadja Andrasev) for straightforwardly portraying the labyrinths of the feminine personality, looking further into a theme the director already dealt with in The noise of licking, another wonderful animation.
\nA Special Mention to T<\/em> for taking us on a cosmic journey and for succeeding in making the most of what few means, among which the short film, offer. To conclude, a tight hug to Still Working<\/em>.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Asinello d’oro awarded by Irene Pagano – Homeless Home | Alberto V\u00e0zquez<\/span><\/h5>\n

My Golden Donkey goes to Homeless Home<\/em> by Alberto V\u00e0zquez and I really can\u2019t say much more about how much I appreciated it that I already have in my review (a pretty emotional review, of which I\u2019m slightly ashamed). In addition to its graphical beauty and to the skillfulness it was made with, its story has touched me deeply. The main theme is among those I\u2019m most attached to as of now, and the director was able to handle it with the right amount of ruthlessness without putting its lyricism aside.
\nSpecial mention for two Southeast Asian short-films I was really impressed by: Here is not There<\/em> by Nelson Yeo and The Unseen River<\/em> by Ph\u1ea1m Ng\u1ecdc L\u00e2n. The first reminded me of one of the most beautiful doomed romances I have seen on a screen, that is Happy Together<\/em> by Wong Kar-Wai. It also brilliantly depicted something that also happens to be a little aesthetical obsession of mine, namely the suburban setting. The latter is a profoundly evocative and special work, of few words and of superb looks (in this case too my enthusiastic review should suffice to explain which I subjectively think to be its merits).[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][vc_column_text]\n

Asinello d’oro awarded by Anna Vullo – Ijrain maradona | Firas Khoury<\/span><\/h5>\n

I give my asinello d\u2019oro to Maradona\u2019s Legs<\/em>, for its effectiveness in managing to make a childhood activity, like the one of collecting sticker for a footballers album, as important as any mission that can measure a person\u2019s value and passion. Simple, genuine, Maradona\u2019s Legs<\/em> is a short film that made me smile and reflect. Thanks to the two little protagonist one follows not only a fun story, but also a journey in the \u201890s Palestine, made even more real because one is seeing it through two local kids\u2019 eyes.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
