Awards & Prizes

On Thursday, 27 November 2025, at the JUS Museum in Naples, Italy, the winning multiscreen short films of the 4th edition of the “Pluribus International Multimedia Fest”, conceived and directed by Annalaura di Luggo, were awarded.

The winner films will remain on view inside the Pluribus cube, composed of four synchronized screens within the large mirrored cube designed by Annalaura di Luggo.

The festival, dedicated to experimentation and the interaction between art, cinema, and technology, invites emerging and established creatives, directors, and multimedia artists each year to explore new narrative forms capable of immersing the viewer in the audiovisual experience. For this edition, the festival also featured the extraordinary participation of Stanley Isaacs — renowned American producer writer and director with a long career in Hollywood — as Edition President.

    Partecipare al Pluribus Multimedia Fest allo Jus Museum di Napoli - dove il nostro corto “The Prompt” è stato premiato con il “Best New Media Award” - è stato un piacere, per l’organizzazione e l’accoglienza, la qualità dei progetti in concorso e la possibilità di fare rete con realtà che portano innovazione nel cinema. Oltre che per la possibilità rara e interessante di vedere il nostro lavoro esposto in un cubo immersivo che ne amplifica il potenziale narrativo. Un grazie sincero agli organizzatori.

    Grazie ancora per aver partecipato. È stato per noi un vero onore accogliere The Prompt all’interno del Cubo Pluribus.
    Il vostro lavoro ha risposto pienamente allo spirito del festival, che nasce con l’intento di amplificare l’immagine su quattro schermi e trasformare la visione in un’esperienza immersiva.
    Ci fa immensamente piacere creare relazioni e opportunità di collaborazione con tutti i filmmaker che prendono parte al festival. Speriamo di rivedervi nelle prossime edizioni.
