Prize for the Best Film
      "Traum l'Illusionista" digital video system, colour
      by Valentino Murgese and Riccardo Farina
 
Motivation:
For a suspended Kafkian dimension which scans the progressive approach of the young character to the discovery and awareness of one's own destiny. The counterpoint with the disturbing, phantasmagorical shape of the conjurer, increases til the diapason thickness of metaphors and mystery.
Name-plate Salento Finibus Terrae realized by the sculptor Carmelo Conte
Prize Etex € 1.000,00

Prize for the Best Direction
      "Il Volto di Mia Madre" 35mm , colour by Gian Paolo Cugno
 
Motivation:
For the bright cinematographic grammar and the ambition to recount half century of memory drift far to the extreme encountering one's own roots.
The regret and the yearning become matter/symbol through an old piece of film, to represent the union between deepest human emotions and cinema emotions.
Name-plate Salento Finibus Terrae realized by the sculptor Carmelo Conte
Prize Associazione Mediterraneo €500,00

Prize for the Best Script

      "Kamikaze" 35mm, b/w by Fabrizio Ancillai
 
Motivation:
For the ability to narrate without particular emphasis, even though with a consolatory end, the devastating phenomenon of Islamic terrorism and the absolutist vision of a desperate Middle-East opposed to the occidental civilization.
Name-plate Salento Finibus Terrae realized by the sculptor Carmelo Conte
Prize Bricout

Prize for the Best Montage
      "Dolly" super 8mm, colour by Antonio Di Napoli
 
Motivation:
For the courageous, experimental choice that is inclined to join in a symbiotic manner a sort of anti-narration through images to their unconventional syntax
Targa Salento Finibus Terrae realized by the sculptor Carmelo Conte

Prize for the Best Photography
      "L'ultimo Pistolero" 35mm, b/w by Alessandro Dominici
 
Motivation:
For an elegant chromatic choice of a frozen black and white, that perfectly photographs the epic atmospheres of last frontiers duels , and definitely the extreme confrontation of a man with himself.
Name-plate Salento Finibus Terrae realized by the sculptor Carmelo Conte
