Another outstanding achievement for PREMIERE.
Maurizio Lombardi’s Marcello has won the 2025 Nastro d’Argento Award for Best Short Film, bringing home the sixth Nastro d’Argento for our company.
The celebrations do not stop there. Matteo Cirillo’s Pinocchio Reborn was also nominated among the finalists, while two of our productions received prestigious Special Awards.
Sharing Is Caring, directed by Vincenzo Mauro, earned the Special Acting Award for Vincenzo Nemolato, recognized for his irresistible comic performance.
Sorveglianze, directed by Guido Pontecorvo, was the only short film to receive two Special Awards: the Fondazione Claudio Nobis Award, traditionally dedicated to outstanding emerging filmmakers, and the Media Fenix Award, which includes post-production services worth €5,000 to support the director’s next short film.
