Caterina Ponti (Producer, Director and co-author of "Mediterraneo Sea of Life"): "First of all, I thank Pier Luigi Manieri, I thank Adriano Pintaldi and Alberto Ravaglioli for their 'Premio Speciale all'innovazione' ('Special Award for Innovation'); my one is not truly a documentary but it's a film-documentary, a full-lenght movie of 'edutainment', that is to say 'educational' and 'entertainment'; it's a format that I took from USA and I brought here in Italy, and it's above all, and absolutely, the very first one. I thank You all and I give the word to Gianluca". Gianluca Nardulli (Executive Producer and co-author of "Mediterraneo Sea of Life"): "We're going to show You a 3-minutes promo, made ad hoc especially for this prestigious and so beautiful occasion for which I thank for the hospitality the Cultural Center Elsa Morante and its director, and Adriano Pintaldi who, for us, is a so close friend, he's an older brother for us; it's the third award that is given, certified and recognized to the film of Caterina, here near me: respectively the first one granted, awarded and recognized has been the Premio Speciale (Special Award) of "Roma Film Festival", than the Award-Medal from Rotary International; so this one is the third international award displaying a real international value. It's a short promo of 3 minutes, of substance and I think - I hope too - of quality that You will all appreciate shortly on this big screen, showing some among the most particular, coloured, interesting and, among quotation marks, "fantastic" creatures presented in this film of 'edutainment' realized, produced and directed by Caterina. I thank You and I invite You to view these three minutes". Adriano Pintaldi (Director of "Fantafestival"): "Ok...so...let me say...thanks...pleasure apart, we're really so happy, by myself and on behalf of Fantafestival that I represent by now from some decades..Don't mention how many years, 'cause You even could count them...Well...It's easy...This is the 32nd edition! We're really so deeply happy for assigning this Award to Caterina and to Gianluca for the movie they've realized, the work made by them; the commitment and the tenacity with which You have really done this thing, and also I have to say for the love that they put us in realizing and 'building' it; it's been a long and complex making that I've followed also for the friendship that ties us now I would say from so many years, and...so, at this point I give you, Caterina, the Award right now... here, there's it... if you turn it, pay attention...To Caterina with our best wishes to continue on this path; because Caterina is really a very courageous woman, a strong woman who has really huge fine qualities...This opera is an important work which is, among other things, a huge success not only nationally but also internationally, as mentioned by Gianluca, already with the good premises to go overseas...We're not going to reveal more. I thank you again, I hope You all will like this promo and when my friend Pier Luigi would like and will wish, and we are very happy to be here with him and with you, we may also think to see it all...". Pier Luigi Manieri: "I was just waiting to be able to insert myself in the discussion to tell Caterina that today we see a clip, a taste, but we are not completely satisfied with this taste only". Adriano Pintaldi: "So soon we will see it all". Gianluca Nardulli: "So...It's an appetizer!". Adriano Pintaldi: "Thank You, thanks everybody. Brava Caterina! Thanks again".
