12th INTERFILM Award for Promoting Interreligious Dialogue, Venice, 2023

An odyssey of two young boys from Senegal to Europe. They fight for freedom, equality and justice in face of dehumanization. Through their pure naivety they expose the evil and manage to overcome. Seydou takes responsibility claiming God is with us and grows from boy to man. He becomes the master of his own life and the captain of his soul. The INTERFILM Award for Promoting Interreligious Dialogue goes to Io capitano by Matteo Garrone (photo: © Greta di Lazzaris).
