Director Pisanu wins the Best Film award at the Puglia Film & Literature Festival

Now in its fourteenth edition, the Cinema&Literature Festival "of the story, the film" has been able to carve out a prestigious space for the study of highly topical social issues.

Organized by the Social Cooperative I bambini di Truffaut, with the artistic direction of Giancarlo Visitilli, it took place in various locations in Puglia. In the four hundred hits section (a clear reference to the French director) "All dogs die alone", the first feature film by the Sassari director Paolo Pisanu, won Best Film.

This is the reason for the award: «All dogs die alone by Paolo Pisanu is the film that tells the life of many, too many, who succumb to bad life due to illness. It is a film of resistance, of struggle and great writing and directing. Paolo Pisanu's debut promises the idea of a cinema that makes social commitment its great strength and soul».

The film, based on the screenplay co-written with Gianni Tetti and winner of the Solinas Prize, is produced by Ang Film, in collaboration with Rai Cinema and with the support of the Sardinia Film Commission Foundation, and distributed by Fandango.

It must be said that Puglia brings good luck to "All dogs die alone": a few months ago in the New Italian Cinema section of the Bifest–Bari International Film&Tv Festival, Orlando Angius received the Gabriele Ferzetti Award for best leading actor.
