Denver awards Italians
The Denver Film Society has unveiled an annual Italian Filmmaker Award, funded with a $250,000 endowment from the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation. Award will recognize emerging Italian filmmakers and expands the scope of the society's Starz Denver Film Festival.
Helmer Federic Bondi will be the award's first recipient, collecting $10,000. He'll showcase his film "Mar Nero" (pictured) at the fest in November which despite the photo's big-pharma ad veneer ("Is Effexor right for you?"), is a drama about a caretaker and her charge.
Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com.
