David di donatello awards 6 time winner

Matteo Garrone‘s Oscar-nominated drama Io Capitanotriumphed in Italy‘s David di Donatello film awards on Friday evening, winning best film and best director.

The film about the trials and tribulations of two Senegalese teenagers as they try to make it to Europe via the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean Sea, also won best producer for companies Archimede, Rai cinema, Pathé and Tarantula as well as best sound, special effects, cinematography and editing.

Io Capitano premiered at the Venice Film Festival last September, where it won best director for Garrone and the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Young Actor for Seydou Sarr.

The movie went on to enjoy a buzzy awards season, securing a Golden Globe nomination for best non-English language film and an Academy Award nomination for best international film.

“This film tells the stories of those who are not listened to,” said Garrone, on receiving the best director award. “It was essential to make this film with those who actually lived that contemporary odyssey. Even on the set I was lucky enough to work with the extras who had made that journey and they helped me and I often found myself co-directing with them. I felt like a director but also a spectator.”

“I want to thank everyone who made the film with me, even the actors Seydou Sarr and Moustapha Fall. If the film has come this far it is thanks to their extraordinary, intense and true interpretation.”

Other top winners on Friday evening included Italian actress and director Paola Cortellesi’s There’s Still Tomorrow with six wins.

The drama clinched best new director, actress and original screenplay for Cortellesi as well as best supporting actress for Emanuela Fanelli, the spectator prize and the David Giovani, judged by a youth jury.
