The AANT family is celebrating an important achievement. The short film Marta vuole giocare, written and directed by Matteo Quarta—director and professor of the three-year course in Videomaking, Story, Cinema and Media Design—has won two prestigious awards at the Giffoni Film Festival: the Lete Special Award and the prize for Best Short Film in the 10+ category.
The short, produced by CMA Creative Management Association, Halibut Film, and Movi Production, tells the story of Marta, a young girl who dreams of becoming a football player. Despite her father’s disapproval, Marta finds unwavering support from her mother. The screenplay is based on the stories of around thirty women, whose experiences highlight the ongoing challenges of asserting female identity in fields traditionally considered male-dominated.
Several second- and third-year AANT Videomaking students also collaborated on the project, which was filmed in and around Monterotondo, through a dedicated Farm (practical training initiative). The participating students were: Alice Feliciati, Adriano Longoni, Luca Martino, Nicola Pasqui, and Gaia Pugliese. They actively contributed to the short film, working as assistant directors, camera assistants, sound assistants, and interior design assistants.
