CRITICS' AWARD
Under the patronage of Sindacato nazionale dei critici di cinema italiani (S.N.C.C.I.)
On the occasion of the 20th edition of the Ravenna Nightmare Film Festival, the collaboration is renewed, with Cinecriticaweb Sncci and the Sindacato Nazionale Critici Cinematografici Italiani (National Union of Italian Film Critics), which, for the second year in a row, has confirmed to Nightmare its support and patronage.
Founded in 1971, the Sindacato Nazionale Critici Cinematografici Italiani (SNCCI) is dedicated to enhancing the cultural function of film criticism and supporting freedom of expression and the integrity of film works.With the contribution of the Ministry of Culture, the Syndicate edits the publication of the quarterly magazine Cinecritica and the related webzine CineCriticaWeb; in addition, in collaboration with the Venice Biennale, it organizes the Settimana Internazionale della Critica, which takes place as part of the annual Venice Film Festival.
The SNCCI promotes the most deserving initiatives of connection between film criticism and film festivals, which have become a parallel circuit for the screening of films that otherwise would not exist, giving them visibility and greater usability to a wider and more heterogeneous audience, thus spreading languages that are different from each other but united by a single mapping: cinema.
The Jury of Quality
A jury of great professional value, composed of directors, screenwriters, critics, and journalists, awards the Critics' Award for Best Feature Film Director, which has become over the years the most prestigious prize a director can obtain at our festival, without detracting from the certainly more popular and always spectacular and participatory prize: the Golden Ring awarded by the public.
