The GdA Awards

The winning film receiving the GdA Director’s Award at the 21st edition of Giornate is Manas by Marianna Brennand, which turns the spotlight on an unknown province of Brazil, the remote setting of a story that is universal

The film is the story of two women seemingly very different, yet who actually closely resemble each other

“The film is beautifully shot but the director never allows the audience’s attention to waver from the intensity of the physical and emotional interaction between father and son as they are faced with a fight for survival”

A ruling from the Court of Venice authorizes the screening of the film and recognizes the director’s moral rights. The news will be explained to the press in a conference open to the public on 5 September, 12.00, at the Casa degli Autori

The filmmaker will meet audiences on September 5th at 4 pm. A dialogue moderated by Akim Zejjari

An emergency decree by the Court of Venice, obtained by the companies Viva Film (Russia), Avantura Film (Croatia), and Pygmalion (Cyprus) over a copyright dispute regarding the film’s script, has prompted us, for now, in agreement with the Fondazione La Biennale di Venezia, to suspend the press & industry screening scheduled for tomorrow, August 28th
