CANNES -- New Italian director Andrea Lodovichetti was presented with the Babelgum Looking for Genius award, one of seven awards presented as part of Babelgum's online film festival that attracted more than 1,000 entries from 86 countries.Director Spike Lee presented the 32-year-old Lodovichetti with Babelgum's top award, for his work on "Sotto il mio giardino" (Under My Garden), the story of a young boy who believes his love of insects gives him evidence to solve what he imagines to be a local murder case.Italy and France were the only two countries with a pair of winners each: Lodovichetti's compatriot Emanuel Exitu won the festival's documentary award for "Greater -- Defeating AIDS." And France's Remy Schaepman won the animation award for "Quidam Degomme" (A Sheep on a Roof) with the advertising award presented to "The Pocket Crossborder" director Ambroise Becchio.Other winners were U.S. director Richard Recco, who won the Short Film award for "Officer Down"; Irish director Brian Deane, who won the Social-Environment prize for "Without Words"; and Music Video award winner "Mouthface" directed by Belgium's Antonin de Bemels.Each winner received 20,000 euros ($31,000).Viewers on the Babelgum web voted in each category in order to reduce the field to a total of 70 films between the seven categories. A panel of experts reduced each category's short list to three films before Lee selected each of the seven winners.

****************************
I was born in Fano (ITALY) in 1976 but currently live in Rome. I graduated in Film Directing at Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia (National school of Cinema, Cinecittà ).
I am the co-founder (together with Luca Caprara) of Lobecafilm, an independent movie production company: our staff is made of directors, editors, writers, operators, photographers, web designers and many other communication, broadcasting and movie industry professionals. Competence, hard work, responsibility, creativity and practical sense are core values in our daily work.
In 2002, I wrote and directed a short film entitled "Director’s Cut–Segmenti di una notte" and in 2003, I co-wrote with Francesco Belfiori, produced and directed “Untitled-Storie senza nome”, a short film which was screened during the Venice International Film Festival, 2003. This film has won several prizes and international awards, e.g. at the Virginia International Contest and for the European Emerging Film-Maker in 2004.
Between 2004 and 2006, I wrote and directed many shorts in 35mm format and digital video, like “L’amore.Quasi.(oppure no)”, “Fragile”, “Il Diavolo” and others shorts, spots, docums, adverfilms and 'making of movies' that you can watch clicking the Video Link (NOTE: many shorts have english subtitles)
In 2005 I was chosen by the Italian director Paolo Sorrentino as his assistant director for his movie "L’amico di famiglia" produced by Indigo Film, Fandango and Medusa.
Actually, I’m writing my first feature film, a noir movie and I’m working as assistant director for Paolo Sorrentino for the movie “Il Divo” produced by Indigo Film, Lucky Red and Medusa.
My latest short, entitled "Sotto il mio giardino" , has WON the Babelgum Online Film Festival and is ACTUALLY online (full version) ONLY on BABELGUM platform (click on the banner in this page).
