Nov. 5 – It’s a clear success for Italian cinema in Nice thanks to Paul Gaudio, who won the Grand Prix with his “Fantasticherie di un passeggiatore solitario,” “Receiving an award for your work is always a great emotion – said the director – it allows you to recharge your batteries, giving you strength to move forward and do better. I would like to thank the jury of La Samain du cinéma fantastique and director Michael Abbate, for the way they responded to my movie and for appreciating my idea of fantasy cinema.” (Red)
