The short film “The stole embrace” (L’abbraccio rubato) by Simone Gazzola won the Panorama Italiano award at Mompeo International Short Film Festival, in Rieti, Italy.

Motivation of the jury: “The organization wanted to award a prize to this first work which tells, in a few lines, a dramatic theme that is intertwined with diversity, also well expressed by the interpretation of the leading actress. Through conscious and essential direction, the author managed to capture, in this small and courageous short film, the most significant elements of such a painful topic.”

MOMPEO International Short Film Festival

Mompeo Intarnational Short Film Festival is organized by the “Associazione Solidando Cooperazione e Sviluppo ODV” founded in 2004 following the experience of a group of friends who went to Nicaragua in the summer of the same year to promote a long-cultivated project: creating a traveling cinema for the community of Chinandega. For several years it has organized cultural activities in Sardinia and abroad, including Solidando International Short Film festival.

The short film

“The stolen embrace” (L’abbraccio rubato) by Simone Gazzola tells about Febe, a new-mom artist, is stuck at home, disconnected from reality. Not even the phone call of her husband and the crying coming from the cradle seem to wake her up.
