http://tigerboymovie.com Matteo, a nine year old kid, designs a mask identical to that of his hero: a wrestler of a Roman suburb called The Tiger. Once the mask is on, Matteo never takes it off: he goes to school, sleeps in it and even bathes with it. What simply appears as a tantrum is in reality a call for help that nobody seems to hear. Matteo, un bambino di nove anni, costruisce una maschera identica a quella del suo mito: un wrestler di Corviale chiamato Il Tigre. La maschera diventa una seconda pelle per Matteo e non vuole togliersela per nessuna ragione. Quello che a prima vista viene scambiato per un capriccio è in realtà una chiara richiesta d’aiuto che nessuno riesce a cogliere. a GOON FILMS Production Cast: SIMONE SANTINI, LIDIA VITALE, FRANCESCO FOTI Directed by: GABRIELE MAINETTI Story and Screenplay: NICOLA GUAGLIANONE Executive Producer: GABRIELE MAINETTI Cinematographer: MICHELE D’ATTANASIO Editor: SIMONE MANETTI Costume Designer: MARGHERITA MEDDI Set Designer: MARTINA CASTAGNOLI Composer: GABRIELE MAINETTI AWARDS 2013 · 86th Academy Awards® category “Live Action Short Films”– Shortlist Nomination · 22° Flickerfest International Film Festival (Australia), Renault Award for Best International Short Film (Academy® Accredited) · Corti d’argento 2013 – Nastro d’argento (Silver Ribbon), Best Short Film · 14° Festival del Cinema Europeo di Lecce, Emidio Greco Award · 14° Maremetraggio, Studio Universal Award · Cortisonici 2013, Pubblic Award · Sorridendo Film Festival, Best Short Film · Titano Cinetour, – San Marino Film Festival, Best Short Film · 10° Naoussa International Film Festival, Award for Best Script · Mestre Film Fest 2013, IMG Cinemas Short Stories Award · Amarcort Film Festival, Fellini Mention 2012 · Golden Globe 2012, Finalist · David di Donatello Awards 2012, Finalist · 42° Giffoni Film Festival (Generator +13), 2° Classified · 15° Genova Film Festival, Critics’ Choice Award + Special Mention · 6° Est Film Festival, Arc Silver for Best Short Film · 7° Overlook Film Festival, Audience Award + Special Mention · 2° Roma Creative Contest Best Direction Award + Best Photography Award · 9° Corto Dorico, Audience Award and Young Jury Award · Asti Film Festival 2012, Special Mention · 27° Brest European Short Film Festival (France), Grand Prix du Film Court de la Ville de Brest FESTIVALS · 8° Children’s India International Film Festival (India – Bengaluru) · 28° Santa Barbara International Film Festival (USA) · Giffoni Sao Paulo Film Festival (Brazil) · Best of Short Films Festival en la Ciotat (France) · Prends Ça Court (Montreal) · Festival du Cinéma Européen de Lille (France) · Regensburger Kurzfilmwoche (Germany) · Festival International de cinema et d’art de Percé (Canada) · Fil’m Hafizasi (Turkey) · Clare Valley Film Festival (Australia) · 26° Helsinki Film Festival (Finlandia) · Cortometraggi che passione – FICE · 19° Festival Visioni Italiane · Festival Pontino del Cortometraggio · Punto di Vista Film Festival · Santa Marinella Film Festival · Bolzano Short Film Festival · Brianza Film Corto Festival · VisualFest 2013 · 11° Short Film Review (Poland) · 8° Monterrey Int’l Film Festival (Mexico) · 36° Open Air Film Fest Weiterstadt (Germany) · 10° Molise Cinema Film Festival · 12° Corto in Bra International Film Festival (Cinema Corto in Italy) · 20° Arcipelago · 1° San Marino Film Festival · Film Lab Festival 2012 · Festival International du Court Métrage à Clermont-Ferrand @2012 Goon Films Srl - All Rights Reserved
