Technical Jury Award
Award for Best Italian Short Film
Alizé Latini
Raised by wolves in the Italian countryside, Alizé could read and write by the time she was 3 months old. On her second birthday, she solved the Goldbach conjecture while napping. By the time she reached 5 years old she had been awarded every existent Nobel Prize and had as many Oscar nominations as Meryl Streep. She currently spends her life trying to understand why her cat hates her sneezing. (It will shock you to know that none of this is true. What is true is that Alizé doesn’t know how to write a bio in third person where she sounds professional yet not cocky. What she does know is how to read books for an audience with her Teloleggo format and how to direct Nòt Film Fest, one of the leading film festivals in Italy when it comes to independent cinema.)
