Edoardo De Angelis will close the forty-third Laceno d'oro, Avellino's international film festival, tomorrow, Sunday, December 9th, at 8:00 PM at the Partenio Cinema on Via Giuseppe Verdi. The director will receive the "Giacomo d'Onofrio" award, a historic honor in memory of one of the festival's founders, along with Pier Paolo Pasolini and Camillo Marino from Irpinia. The award, dedicated to young filmmakers, was given to De Angelis following the success of his latest film, "Il vizio della speranza." "A cinema that has the courage to pursue a fantastic possibility of redemption and salvation," the citation states. "The harshness of dogma and rules dissolves into the residual vitality of tradition, in pursuit of the subversive heresy of devotion, in the renewed path of freer Neapolitan authorship." The award ceremony will be followed by the presentation of the book "Il vizio della speranza" (published by Mondadori) and a screening of the film, which will also be shown at 6:30 pm at the Cinema Comunale in Bagoli Irpino, the historic venue of the event during Pasolini's time, with the director in attendance.
The Laceno d'oro is organized by the Circolo ImmaginAzione with the artistic direction of Antonio Spagnuolo in collaboration with Aldo Spiniello, Sergio Sozzo, Leonardo Lardieri of the film magazine Sentieri Selvaggi and Maria Vittoria Pellecchia, with the contribution of the Campania Region and MIBAC – General Directorate of Cinema.
