The special jury prize at the Venice Film Festival went to “Terraferma,” about the influx of illegal migrants to a tiny Italian island, by Emanuele Crialese. Crialese is one of the only stars I was actually able to see on the red carpet, as I shoved my camera through a hole in the fence and shoved old ladies away to keep my place at that hole in the fence.
I’m thrilled for Crialese and we can only hope that Terraferma makes it to the US.
