After about ten years in our small but nice office at Clivo di Monte del Gallo, two steps away from St. Peter Square, ARCIPELAGO has found a new "home", a bit larger and more comfortable.

As of January 7, the Festival office has indeed moved a few kilometers more south, to Viale dei Colli Portuensi. Closer to Fiumicino airport (and to the seaside, as well!) than to downtown. Well, that's what it looks like to us, at least...

Along with Homo Homini Lupus by Matteo Rovere, Elisa Fuksas' Please, Leave a Message - which premiered at the 15th edition of ARCIPELAGO, last June - was awarded the Silver Ribbon for 2007, in the short films category.

Assigned every year by the Italian Film Journalists Guild (SNGCI), the prestigious acknowledgement (a sort of Italian Golden Globe) has been announced yesterday during a ceremony held at the Trevi Movie Theater, in Rome.

With the closing of Short.Web 7.0 and the award for the Best Online Short Film to Ciao, Lara by Ernesto Spinelli, officially announced last night at Digital Party, the Cinema. Rome Film Fest pavillion dedicated to new technologies, the list of winners of the 2007 edition of ARCIPELAGO is now complete.
