Adavede
Adavede, by Alain Parroni, director and screenwriter who graduated in Cinema in RUFA, won the Grand Prix as Best European Short Film at the 17th Edition of the European Competition at UFCTC 2017 in Nice. After participating in the Venice Film Festival during Critics’ Week, the success of Adavede, a short film made by a team of RUFA alumni, continued to spread throughout Europe. This was confirmed by the award received in Nice and the participation in numerous international festivals, including Alice in the City, a section of the Rome Film Festival, the ZINEBI Festival in Bilbao and the Detour On The Road Film Festival in Rome.
“Adavede”is a raw, romantic tale. While walking in the woods, Clara, a disenchanted girl from the Roman suburbs, comes across a deer. Hoping to capture that enchanting image, the young woman points her phone at the animal, but the phone goes off, leaving her with only doubt and a beautiful memory. Thus begins a day-long journey marked by encounters with various characters, a journey that becomes a quest within a corrupted memory.
The subject is set in the capital, a city to which Parroni is very attached, and in particular in the Roman suburbs, a context in which he often finds inspiration to bring out his poetics so authentic, tormented and deep and to express a very realistic mood through the construction of emotionally fragile and problematic characters.
