Awards

Dolomiti Energia Award
Ed. 2026
The Road to Patagonia emerges as the winner thanks to its intense and authentic narrative, which delicately interweaves a personal journey with the crucial balance between humanity and the planet’s resources. The journey becomes an opportunity for discovery, reflection, and change, leaving the viewer deeply engaged and profoundly moved. Furthermore, the quality of the pure and extremely varied cinematography was particularly appreciated, maintaining a respectful and powerful perspective while moving across radically different environments, from Patagonia, the Amazon rainforest and Central America to Alaska. The film masterfully transforms movement through space into narrative energy, and the power of nature into a driving force for deeper awareness of life.
