The extravagance of proposing to two film authors who are friends of each other and deeply linked by their love for images, to cover the role of Presidents of the "Piccolo Cinema Paradiso Award", is confirmed in the Second Edition of the 2023/2024 Award.
Silvano Agosti and Franco Piavoli have realized during their lives, a filmography of exceptional artistic quality. To honor their participation, we will screen some of their short films that will open the day of the Awards for the best films selected by tue Juries. The preciousness of their presence pushes us to consider the PCP Award as a sort of legacy to the creativity of each one of those who will participate to the selection, sending us their creations made in compliance with the characteristics of Productive Independence. We are sure that supporting this type of Cinema is increasingly in tune with our present that is rich in proposals, but not open to their dissemination.
