    Sicily Independent Film Awards is an uplifting festival. Surprisingly accessible. They love films and that creative spirit is the key to why I would keep them on my shortlist. Anna Luigi handles the communications expertly and it may just be your fate to read her email which begins: “Your film is an award winner.” Those six words!
