In the 2020 edition the fanheart3 awards jury also awarded a special mention to The Metamovie Presents: Alien Rescue, directed by Jason Moore. This work, in fact, gives the user not only the chance to join the story, but also the possibility to become its co-creator. It also opens up surprising interactive possibilities as the “hero”, allowing the user to be the main character of the story and to decide what kind of relationship they want to have with the others.  

The Competition

The Golden Clip and the Silver Ship for best OTP were assigned to a title in a selection of 15 films chosen by a team of experts on fan culture and participatory dynamics in the following sections: Venezia77 In Competition, Out of Competition, Orizzonti, Giornate degli Autori, Settimana della Critica.

The VR Fan Experience was assigned to one out of 10 experiences in VR selected among those presented at VeniceVR Expanded.

Winners of Fanheart3 Awards were announced on Saturday, September 12, on the closing day of the Venice Film Festival at Fondazione Ente dello Spettacolo event.

– to be updated

"When we talk about “movies for fans” we are not reducing the inner quality of these movies, nor are we simply calling them “mainstream”. On the contrary, we want to emphasize that these movies have something more, a potential, which goes beyond even their artistic value. Some of these movies could be noticed beyond film festivals and the cinephile niche. Their characteristics transform them into potential cult movies and therefore allow them not only to influence the cinematographic production for years to come, but also to do something that beautiful but less fan-oriented films are unable to realize: to have a 360° impact on our culture and hopefully move younger people (and not only) to a better awareness of our society and of the challenges it’s facing."
