Congratulations to Paola Cortellesi for winning the Sydney Film Festival prize with her film “C’è ancora domani”!
On awarding of the price, the Jury said in a joint statement:
We award the prize to a film that welcomes audiences into one of the historic cradles of cinema. Set in post-War Italy, Paola Cortellesi’s debut feature, C’è ancora domani (There’s Still Tomorrow) feels intensely relevant today. We relive every woman’s struggle for equality through Cortellesi’s “Delia,” we face the brutal cycles of domestic violence with an immense empathy that ultimately proclaims and affirms the virtues of democracy. C’è ancora domani deftly weaves humour, style, and pop music into a dazzling black-and-white cinematic event, then it delivers an ending that will take your breath away.”
‘There’s Still Tomorrow’ was screened for the first time in Australia at the Sydney Film Festival.
