Lorenzo De' Medici Contributes €2,500 Award to "Festival dei Popoli" Film Festival in Florence, and gives students the chance to judgeFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 12, 2007Florence, Italy, December 1 - 7, 2006 - Lorenzo de' Medici has recently taken part in the 47th Festival dei Popoli, the long-running international festival of documentary cinema. LdM offered the "Lorenzo de' Medici Award" in the amount of €2,500, to be awarded at the discretion of a jury of student judges also provided by the school. This international jury was composed of Alyse Tunca, Rose Walker, Sarah Nachum, Steven Nast, and Noriko Kaneko, hailing from as diverse countries as Turkey, Japan, and the U.S.A. The "Lorenzo de' Medici Award" was presented to Heddy Honigmann of Holland for her film, "Forever," which was described as "...harmoniously combining art, literature and music to present an original perspective on life and death." Furthermore, Hongimann was said to "possess the gift of enabling her subjects to freely express their own emotions." The Festival has always asked questions often ignored by the big screen in order to spark debate, analysis and dialogue, as well as providing venues through which the public can interact with expert film makers and personalities from the world of show-business. For more information, please visit the Festival dei Popoli website at www.festivaldeipopoli.org. Scuola Lorenzo de' Medici was the only school involved in this capacity; this is part of LdM's commitment to providing students with experiences in the community to complement their classroom study. |  |
