🇸🇮🎬🌟Nagrado Franka Capre za najboljši mednarodni dokumentarni film na festivalu Borgo Filmfest je prejel film Zora prešernega Kranja!

🇬🇧🎬🌟The Frank Capra award for the best international documentary at the Borgo Filmfest received the film The City of the Poet.

🇸🇮🎬🌟Pot je vodila v Bisacquino, v prikupen kraj v osrčju Sicilije, ki ga krasijo visoke hiše peščenih odtenkov. Tukaj se je rodil znan režiser Frank Capra, ki je v začetku 20. stoletja odšel v Ameriko in tam posnel številne brezčasne uspešnice, med drugimi Čudovito življenje (It's a wonderful life). Zato je njegovo ime na podeljeni plaketi še v posebno čast.

🇬🇧🎬🌟The journey led to Sicily, to the charming town of Bisacquino, the birthplace of director Frank Capra. Capra, who left for America in the early-20th century, went on to create numerous timeless classics, including It’s a Wonderful Life. His name is thus honored on the award plaque.

🇸🇮🎬🌟 Bogat festivalski program je trajal štiri dni. Številne projekcije kratkih in celovečernih filmov so spremljale razne okrogle mize in predavanja. Osrednje festivalsko prizorišče je bilo v mestnem gledališču Paolo Giaccone.

🇬🇧🎬🌟 The rich program of the festival lasted for four days. Numerous screenings of short and feature films were accompanied by various roundtable discussions and lectures. The central festival venue was the Paolo Giaccone City Theater.

🇸🇮🎬🌟Organizatorji festivala so naju toplo sprejeli in poskrbeli za občutek vključenosti in domačnosti. Kramljala sva s številnimi filmarji, bodisi organizatorji ali udeleženci, ki so podelili svoje zgodbe, poglede, način dela in vizije. Tukaj gre zahvala Eleni Costa, Noemi Mendolia, Domenicu Pampinelli, Stefanu Alfanu in Annalisi Tortorici.

🇬🇧🎬🌟The festival organizers warmly welcomed us and ensured a sense of inclusion and homeliness. We chatted with numerous filmmakers, whether they were organizers or participants, who shared their stories, perspectives, work methods, and visions. Special thanks to Elena Costa, Noemi Mendolia, Domenico Pampinella, Stefano Alfano and Analisa Tortorici.

🇸🇮🎬🌟 Festival smo zaključili s slovesno podelitvijo nagrad, ki se je odvijala na trgu Triona pred mogočno cerkvijo Janeza Krstnika. Podelitev pod zvezdami, na prostoru, ki ga obkroža starodavna arhitektura, je še dodatno pripomogla k pristnemu doživetju festivala in Sicilije.

🇬🇧🎬🌟 The festival concluded with a award ceremony held in Triona Square, in front of the magnificent Church of St. John the Baptist. The awards were presented under the stars, in a space surrounded by ancient architecture, adding to the authentic experience of the festival and Sicily.

🇸🇮🎬🌟V bližini Bisacquina so snemali film Giuseppeja Tornatoreja Novi kino paradiž (Cinema Paradiso), iz katerega sem črpal navdih za številne svoje projekte. Plaketa je fotografirana prav na kraju, ki je služil kot kulisa Tornatorejevemu filmu.

🇬🇧🎬🌟A small town nearby has also been the backdrop for Giuseppe Tornatore’s Cinema Paradiso, which served as inspiration for many of my own film projects. The photo of the plaque was taken at the very location that played a role in Tornatore’s film.
