"OLTRE LE SBARRE" AWARD
Castellinaria returns in the La Stampa prison structure, with the initiative called "Beyond Bars", which is aimed at young adults in detention to offer them an opportunity for growth and reintegration into society.
Thanks to the willingness of director Stefano Laffranchini-Deltorchio and all the staff in charge of the inmates' activity programme, a five-person jury, coordinated by Agnese Làposi, was set up within the prison walls to view and evaluate the short films in the Castellincorto competition.
The "Oltre le sbarre" jury Award goes to:
