SYDNEY SIBILIA

President of the Jury

Back this year as President of the Jury, a professional with whom we have taken the first steps. Launched as a director by the Rome Creative Contest during the first edition (2011), he won that year with the short film “Oggi gira così” the Audience Award, presented to him by Pupi Avati. He then returned as a juror in 2014 with Gabriele Mainetti, Alessio Lauria, Piero Messina, Enrico Maria Artale and Giuseppe Marco Albano for the European Awards.

In the meantime, he ventured into making feature films, directing a trilogy with great enthusiasm from the big screen audience: “Smetto quando voglio”. It is a pleasure to have the director and friend Sydney Sibilia with us.

SABINA GUZZANTI

Almost 30 years of television, theater and film career. She continues today to make us smile thanks to her roles and her famous imitations (Pippo Chennedy Show and L’ottavo Nano) and also give us food for thought through her political and social commitment (she successfully directed feature films with social value as “Viva Zapatero!”, “Draquila”, “La trattativa”).

In recent years she has also approached the world of web with the satirical webseries “TG Porco – information and revenge” produced over the years thanks to the funding of users and  to the website “productions from below”.
