The 2023 prize

In the wake of the ecological awarding that fanheart3 has chosen to pursue in the previous editions of the fanheart3 awards and in consideration of the tragic environmental events that have been affecting the Italian territory for several months now, fanheart3 decided to make a donation on behalf of our winners to Spiritus Mundi ODV, an organisation of young volunteers involved in the creation of forests in the Veneto region and in recreating the ecosystem for biodiversity.

Fanheart3 also chose to support a local craftsman, Mario Favaro, who provided the frames containing the award certificates. Visit Mario Favaro’s website to find out more about his art.

"Quando parliamo di prodotti 'da fan' non stiamo riducendo automaticamente il livello qualitativo delle produzioni vincitrici, definendole 'per le masse'. Anzi, vogliamo evidenziare qualcosa in più che questi film hanno, oltre al loro valore artistico. Molti di questi film presentano delle caratteristiche che potrebbero farli notare anche oltre i confini dei Festival e del circuito cinefilo e trasformarli in piccoli (o grandi) cult, in grado di influenzare non solamente la successiva produzione cinematografica, ma anche la cultura a 360 gradi e, con essa, la società e le situazioni sociali che ogni giorno ci ritroviamo ad affrontare"
"When we talk about productions 'for fans', we are not automatically lowering their quality level by calling them 'for the masses'. On the contrary, we want to highlight something more that these productions have, in addition to their artistic value. Many present characteristics that could make them stand out even beyond the boundaries of festivals and the cinephile circuit and turn them into small (or big) cult products. Not only could they influence subsequent artistic productions. They could also have an all-round impact on culture and, with it, on society and the social situations we face every day'.
