It is the first time in the short history of the festival that a small jury composed consisting of professionals and industry figures decided on the winners for the past three editions, an audience jury handed out the trophies. This year’s jury included president Milos Forman as well as Italian director Gabriele Muccino, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, French screenwriter Jean-Loup Dabadie, Russian director Pavel Lungin and Austrian actress Senta Berger.
The International Rome Film Festival, which comes to a close tomorrow, announced its winner tonight in an awards ceremony in the Parco della musica, the festival’s labyrinthine main hub on the outskirts of the Eternal City.
