PRODUCTION:

The short film, written and directed by first-time filmmaker Guido Pontecorvo and developed in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Culture, had its world premiere at Alice nella Città, an independent and parallel section of the Rome Film Festival.

“Sorveglianze” won two awards at the Nastri d’Argento, a historic accolade presented by the National Union of Italian Film Journalists: the Claudio Nobis Foundation Award, traditionally dedicated to recognizing the talent of young filmmakers, and the Media Fenix Award, which includes support services for the production of an upcoming short film.

The film has also been featured in other prestigious festivals, including Afrodite Shorts, where it won the Award for Best Short Film on a Female Theme, the Roma Creative Contest, and the Los Angeles Italia Film Festival, a renowned international showcase of Italian cinema held at the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. “Sorveglianze” will compete in the International Competition at the Odense Film Festival in Denmark, one of the most prestigious Academy Qualifying and EFA Qualifying festivals, having been selected from over 3,000 short films.

It is currently on the festival circuit, distributed by Premiere Film.
