Join the jury of the Caligari Award 2021
You will be able to choose the best film noir produced in Italy from the six finalists in the competition
The IULM and Noir in Festival competition for Italian cinema, conceived by Rector Gianni Canova in agreement with Giorgio Gosetti, features six finalists chosen by Gianni Canova and Giorgio Gosetti at their sole discretion from among the Italian-made noirs released in cinemas during the year 2021.
The six finalist films will be screened between 10 and 15 December in Milan in the Sala dei 146 of IULM 6, with the participation of the filmmakers.
The winner of the competition dedicated to the director Claudio Caligari, who died in 2015 and is the author of just three intense and painful feature films, will be chosen by a popular jury of young students and enthusiasts, led by three film critics including a President/Moderator.
"Never as this year," say Gianni Canova and Giorgio Gosetti, "has the choice of the finalists been a real challenge because the appeal of the genre has finally proved to be an original feature exploited by many of our authors, screenwriters and directors. The context of the pandemic has undoubtedly penalised the visibility of many quality works and this is another reason why we feel it is important to offer a new showcase for works capable of appealing to different audiences. The strength of the Award is now confirmed by the winners of the past editions: we are certain that this year too the charisma of Claudio Caligari will accompany our 2021 winner".
