"MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN"

Carlo Siliotto (United States)

Jury’s Remarks:

Carlo Siliotto’s composition takes us on a journey of soulful transcendence, where every note becomes an essential part of the path toward a miracle. The music does not simply accompany the images; it amplifies, nourishes, and transforms them into pure emotion. A universal language that speaks directly to the heart, restoring sacredness and intensity to the listening experience.

Best Audience Award

"FOR WOMAN, LIFE, FREEDOM"

Francesco Mario Troiano (Italy)

Jury’s Remarks:

Young filmmaker Francesco Mario Troiano confronts us with an intense and direct scene, a face-to-face encounter with the pain of losing freedom. The despair expressed through the symbolic act of cutting hair immerses us in the tears of Iran, making the gunshots echo as if they were strikes to our own hearts.
