The prize from the inmates of the Verona prison

The prize from the inmates of the Verona prison

Gates almost ten meters high. When entering, we had to pass through a metal detector and our gear  (video cameras, microphones, stands, and lights) was checked out, piece by piece. A kind prison guard kept us in sight, making sure we only focused on sites and people we were authorized to film. Today, a small troupe from the Festival went down to the Prison in Montorio (Verona). We saw the cell set up as a screening room where the inmates, along with volunteers from the association Microcosmo, viewed all of the films in competition in the XIX edition of the Festival. We shot a brief clip in which they reveal their winner. Obviously, we can't reveal anything now, but we can tell you there was a near- tie and to reach a consensus there were long discussions among the jurors.
