The Ceremony Award will be held on Tuesday 2nd December at 8.30 p.m. at CULT! Sala dell’orologio in Piazza della Libertà, Bergamo, and the jury consisting of Chiara Borroni (professor and film critic), Luca Capponi (director), Adriana Ferrarese (director and producer), and Francesca Magliulo (director of the EOS Foundation), will be awarded the Ermanno Olmi Prize along with a special mention awarded to the most significant work concerning “Humility”, that, for its echoes from the Gospels and Dostoevsky, stands in stark contrast to the social obsession with profit, domination, and widespread selfishness.
During the evening the four finalist works of the competition will be screened and at 9.45 p.m. a tribute will be paid to Ermanno Olmi with his film La circostanza (1974).
Free admission. Tickets: lab80.18tickets.it.
La circostanza by Ermanno Olmi (Italy, 1974)
Laura, a lawyer who comes from an upper-class Milanese family, leads an altogether placid life. After witnessing an almost-fatal motorcycle accident near her family’s country home, she becomes obsessed with the young victim, leading to a series of flashbacks and introspective instants that probe the bourgeois life she leads.
