Palmares

Nicola Salerno’s Fifty Fifty wins the 2017 Cavaliere Giallo Award for best screenplay of the noir genre.

The winner of the first edition of the Cavaliere Giallo Award for best short film screenplay of the noir genre was announced at the Auditorium in Piazza Libertà, Bergamo. The award is promoted by Bergamo Film Meeting Onlus in collaboration with the Cavaliere Giallo association.

Two special mentions by the jury went to the screenplay Follia Tzatziki (Tzatziki Craze) by Francesco Bozzi, for “the lively rendering of contemporary characters, with a surreal ending that remains open to an array of interpretations”, and to L’uomo nell’acquario (Man in the Aquarium) by Massimo Vavassori and Nicola Lucchi, “A classic story where deep psychological character analysis supports a tale of bitter redemption”.
