Friday 18 october at 9 p.m.
During this evening, created on the occasion of David Lynch's arrival in Ravenna in 2017, the festival assigns the Medaglia al Valore award, created by mosaic artist Dusciana Bravura, to directors and filmmakers who, with their works, have significantly contributed to narrative research and experimentation, delving into new and original paths. Our event, with a view to paying tribute to Italian genre cinema, has already awarded cult directors such as Liliana Cavani, Manetti Bros and Roberto De Feo.
In the occasion of the 22nd edition of the RNFF, the Medal for Valour will be awarded to Federico Zampaglione, Italian singer-songwriter, director and screenwriter, frontman of the band Tiromancino, whose sensational "The Well" will be presented.
The evening will be an all-round celebration of Zampaglione and his art, full of great surprises ✨
Born in Rome in 1968, Federico Zampaglione is a singer-songwriter, director, co-producer, screenwriter and musician. In 1989, he founded Tiromancino, of which he is the frontman. Over the years he has written and directed several video clips. In 2006 he debuted in the world of cinema as a director, making his first feature film entitled "Nero bifamiliare". In May 2010, his second film, "Shadow", was released in cinemas and won the Nastri d'Argento for best soundtrack. The Well, filmed in early 2023 between Sambuci (Tivoli) and Rome, and world premiered at the Sitges Film Festival, marks his return to the horror genre.
