Caramella wins the GASP Prize for Best Film for Social Engagement
An intimate account from director Valerio Narcisi about the screening of his short film "Caramella" at festivals. From the racing heartbeat during screenings to the wonder of seeing a film in Marchigiano dialect competing among experimental works. The short, winner of the G.A.S.P. prize for social engagement, has sparked unlikely encounters and unexpected opportunities: from Caterina Carone's push to Premiere's distribution deal, from locations found on the first try to Joselito's enthusiasm. A work that stands out for its simplicity, an odd child between comedy and drama "where everyone loses," yet manages to leave something precious with the audience in a world that "is going up in flames."
Caramella selected at Bracciano International Film Exhibition
Caramella has been selected at the Bracciano International Film Exhibition and will be screened on June 14, 2025. The short film was born from a creative encounter between Valerio Narcisi and Veronica Ferretti at Officine Mattòli, and tells a story of self-determination, lightness, and quiet rebellion inside a shoe factory in Le Marche.
