“We wanted to tell a tale in an unexplored Sicily, a Sicily of dreams. A brothers Grimm world made up of forests and ogres that collides with the reality that our land necessarily contains.” Sicilian screenwriters and directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza presented their first feature film Salvo at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Critics’ Week Grand Prix and the Prix Révélation. Salvo was released in 20 countries. In 2010, Fabio and Antonio made their directing debut with the short film Rita, which garnered top awards in Italy and abroad. Filmography: Rita (short), 2010; Salvo, 2013; Sicilian Ghost Story, 2017
