SONGS OF THE WATER SPIRITS WINS BEST FEATURE FILM PRIZE AT TERRAVIVA FILM FESTIVAL
The first edition of the TERRAVIVA FILM FESTIVAL has ended on the 20th of December 2020, with the award cerimony. The film and culture festival has taken place online and has been visible through the MyMovies platform from the 15th to the 20th of December, with the aim of promoting and deepening increasingly topical and urgent topics such as social inclusion, personal identity, immigration, environmental protection and the concept of sharing.
The fulcrum of the event has been the competition for feature films and short films from all over the world judged by a first jury made up of students and a second technical jury made up of prominent personalities from culture and the movie industry: Silvia Bizio (journalist), Fabrizia Sacchi (actress), Ambrogio Lo Giudice (director), Cristiano Governa (screenwriter), Gaia Bottazzi (actress and human rights student) and Marco Cucco (Department of Arts-UniBo).
During the awards ceremony on December 20th, conducted by Enrico Magrelli, the “Raffaele Pisu” Award, (Best feature film prize), has been awarded by the technical jury to “Songs of The Water Spirits” by Nicolò Bongiorno;
This is the jury’s motivation: "The theme of climate change is treated in a particularly innovative way: the director manages to involve, immerse the viewer in an intimate world, narrated in a personal way and in which nature is the real protagonist. Climate change is narrated in fact in a spiritual way, it is characterised as a process of moving away from the value of the earth, water, natural elements".

"SONGS OF THE WATER SPIRITS", A VERY SPECIAL MENTION FROM THE JURY AT VISIONI DAL MONDO 2020
“SONGS OF THE WATER SPIRITS" HAS BEEN RECOGNISED WITH A SPECIAL MENTION BY THE OFFICIAL JURY IN THE ITALIAN CONTEST "Stories of the contemporary world" AT VISIONI DAL MONDO INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 2020.
Motivation: "A wonderful fresco that combines an idea of searching for reality and its exact opposite, that is, the imagery of mystery. By becoming a linguistic operation, as well as pure testimony, the film has the merit of levitating, in the great construction site of its multi-year construction, as an attempt to reconstruct the future, spying on the secret sides of the present. From a visual point of view, it has its own internal coherence that makes it a vision from the world, yes local, but also profoundly universal ".
