President of Laboratorio dei Sogni Arch. Fernando Barbieri With great pleasure, I would like to thank all those who, from the beginning, have worked together for the success of the seventh edition of the Kalat Nissa Film Festival. The competition was promoted with the logic of sound competition, which gave everyone the opportunity to make their work known inter- nationally. Each short film had a message to be offered to the public through the viewer of the filmma- ker who was different from time to time for this one. It is necessary to think that Cinema is the seventh art and is a very important cultural phenomenon that clearly embraces many other arts. The Kalat Nissa Film Festival, this year, is at its seventh edition, but the commitment of the Cinematografic and Cultural association Laboratorio dei sogni is oriented to the future, with the same fineness so far pursued, so that with the experience of all those who have joined the initiative can perfect and enhance this event. In life, thanks to heaven, there are not only the disappointments, the considerable operational and economic difficulties faced this year, but there is also passion, confidence in those who collaborate and the demonstrations of love and care of many others that will allow you to find the strength to move on. Special thanks to the Municipality of Caltanissetta for supporting the project of the 7th Kalat Nissa Film Festival with the aim of promoting the international scene of the beautiful Sicilian territory, which in the three days of the event becomes the center of the world and cradle of film culture.

Fire fighters Brigade Provincial Commander - Eng. Gianfranco Scarciotta With this seventh edition of the exhibition, we are offered the opportunity to promote the image of the Fire fighters Brigade of Caltanissetta and the National Body, the institution of which we are part, and to offer appropriate emphasis on the commitment to daily uninterrupted rescue operations throughout the country as well as in the context of complex emergencies such as the recent tragedy of the hotel in Rigopiano and, last year, the seismic events that have repeatedly battered central Italy, the recovery of the miserable remains of the shipwrecked bodies from the barge abandoned off Malta, the tragic railway accident in the province of Bari, events for which the President of the Republic wished to confer on the celebration of Santa Barbara, patron saint of the Corps, three golden medals at the Banner of the Body. All the events that have been called to compete in the work of relief also the Fire fighters Brigade of Caltanissetta that they knew about the attachment to the service, the love they feed for their profession and the professionalism and the skills de- monstrated in the field, to build day after day, even in this city, the image of a vested institution, by its very nature and for the mission of which it feels invested, to solidarity and generosity, enhancing and consolidating its prestige and credibility. For this reason, even more than the praise, praise and attestation, which fills us with pride, we feel strong the affection and closeness of the citizens and, to offer the sense of the commitment of the Firefighters Brigade of Caltanissetta to the service of the com- munity and the territory of the province, only one data, that of 2016, over 6,000 interventions carried out by the service offices of Caltanissetta, Gela, Mussomeli and Mazzarino and our Firefighters Volunteers of Niscemi. But a desirable nod will certainly also deserve the fire prevention activities carried out by our technicians and the one dedicated to the training of employees in the service of prevention and protection in the workplace, the spread of the culture of security in schools, the vigilance activities and repression in accordance with the specific directives of the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the police activity at the service of the Judicial Authority. Our efforts, however, also see us engaged in other fields, as in the never-ending growth of professional qualification and specialist skills, convinced that we are the evolution and the complexity of risk scenarios that also affect our territory, oblige us to keep pace with the times and to maintain levels of efficiency and readiness of action absolutely unavoidable, even in the face of the increased terrorist threat, in keeping with the Civil Defense tasks attributed to the National Corps. All this is the Firefighters Brigade. To Association “Laboratorio dei sogni”, which this year also organizes this International Festival, my personal thanks together with the Firefighters of Caltanissetta for calling us as partners of the event and for the opportunity to participate with our short at final Gala evening. 4 WELCOME IN Caltanissetta

Mayor Dott. Giovanni Ruvolo One of the resources of our city is the liveability. If we work together we can make a city where to live well. Cleanliness, urban decor, economic development, exit from isolation, comparison and many ... many cultural proposals and uncontrollable creativity. I believe that trusting in the initiatives of the ci- tizens of the city of Caltanissetta, which I represent as First citizen, is the way of restoring civic sense. Never miss a good deal of optimism and positivity and the Kalat Nissa Film Festival is a great example. Again, this year the Caltanissetta Municipality sponsored this important reality of Caltanissetta, which projects our city to Europe and other foreign countries. I urge all the organizers an affectionate wish to continue with the current enthusiasm and to involve our city more and more in the future.

Location Caltanissetta Caltanissetta (or Nissa) is an Italian municipality of about 60,000 inhabitants, the capital of the homony- mous province of Sicily. Ninth city of Sicily, and second in the province, in terms of resident population, is the seventh largest city in the province of the highest province of Italy, preceded in the Region only by Enna, and the fourteenth of Italy by surface the third in isolation, after Noto and Monreale. Its inha- bitants are known as Nisseni. Of uncertain origins, probably Scythians, it has the name of the Arabs who conquered Sicily in the 9th century. Transformed into a feud from the Normans, after various vicissitudes passed in 1405 under the rule of the Moncada of Paternò, who were the owners of the county until 1812. Throughout the nineteenth century, Caltanissetta experienced remarkable industrial development that did not last until the second half of the twentieth century: the presence of large sulfur deposits made it an important extractive center, so that it was known in the past with the name of the world capital of sulfur. Its importance in the solitary sector is evidenced by the foundation in 1862 of the first mining institute in Italy, near which a mineralogical museum was founded.

Bleri Dervishi Winner of Masterchef Albania 2015

The last winner of Masterchef Albania has a Tuscan accent, he works in the Relais in Zafferana Etnea ow- ned by Dr. Guido Alessandro Coffa. He lives in “Belpaese” for 18 years. It is known that Albania-Italy via tv is a link that has marked the history of the last decades: thanks to the ether, in the nineties hundreds of thousands of Albanians have learned our language and fantasized about Italy, taking the boats to reach the other side of the Adriatic coast. Now, in a deeply changed country, on TV comes a new bond, which has the young face of talent show contestants. During the Festival, Bleri Dervisci will be awarded for his versatile skill that has enabled him to overcome any geographic barriers and to overcome any prejudice.

Mittel Cinema Fest

Even this year, as timely as a Swiss watch, came the time of the Mittel Cinema Fest. The festival, which came to the 14th edition, is the most important event for the broadcasting of Italian Cinema in Central Europe, placing itself in those coun- tries neither nor as emerging markets. Promoted by Luce Cinecittà Institute, the festival maintains its traveling formula thanks to the collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institutes of Budapest, Prague, Krakow and Bratislava. Eleven films, plus a series of shorts from the Kalat Nissa Film Festival and the Pázmány Film Festival, selected for this edition of the fe- stival that will start from Budapest on November 5th with the projection of Unknown Hits by Paolo Genovese and will end December 8.

Antenna d’Oro Absolute Prize Best Short Film

The Caltanissetta radio transceiver is an inactive plant for long, medium and short wave broadcasting. Its main element is an omnidirectional antenna of 286 meters high, which holds the primacy for the tallest structure in Italy. The structure, located on the Colle Sant’Anna, is made up of a self-supporting tower with trellis, equipped with tie rods. Long wave transmitters have a power output of 10 kW. The facility, owned by RAI, was inaugurated in 1951 and used for long wave transmission at 189 kHz. Runed in the last period by Rai Way, it was shut down in August 2004, due to the progressive disappearance of the AM radio audience and the cost of maintaining the installations, which has pushed numerous broadcasters to abandon broadcasts in these bands. The shortwave plant, consisting of antennas separated by the main structure, operated on 6060 kHz frequencies with 3 kW of power, while on the 7175 and 9515 kHz with 5 kW. Previously, the 6060 kHz plant was used with a power of 25 kW. It was also used for transmissions of a news bulletin broadcast in Arabic media (Caltanissetta 1 - 567 kHz). Until 1965 it also held the highest European structure primeval beaten by the 388-meter Belmont Transmitting Station in Great Britain, still the tallest structure in the whole of the European Union. The antenna is visible from more than 30km away from the Nisseno capital. For periodic mainte- nance there are constantly specialized technicians for high-volume jobs. For some years, the municipal administration has been planning the lighting of the antenna with suggestive light fixtures that will make it a unique work in the Sicilian landscape and Also Italian. This initiative expects RAI’s opinion.

Trabonella Best Short Film “I’m different from whom?”

Located on the right bank of the ume Imera, Trafalella’s squirrel was between the 1800s and the begin- ning of the 900, the largest of the mines being built for both the number of workers and the equipment of mining equipment at the time But it is sadly remembered as a theater of tragic episodes. In 1863, an explosion of grisou provoked the death of 82 workers, only a few years later, in 1867, a total of 42 workers died in the tunnels of sulfur dioxide. There in 1911 another Grave misfortune marked the history of the mine: a burst of grisou caused a fire lasting 10 days in which 40 workers died and 16 were injured. As a result of this disaster, the mine was closed down to 1914. In addition to being insecure, the mining envi- ronment was also unhealthy: the occurrence of diseases such as anilostomyasis (also called “malaria of the sulfur”), of various gravity disorders The respiratory system, and various forms of osteoarthritis was common among miners. These dramatic con- ditions imposed on the state, since 1898, concrete action to ensure the health and safety at work of sulfurants. Today, in the territory of the Trabonella mine, the “Media Valle del Salso” or “Imera Meridiana” landscaping and the current mine owned by the Demanio Regional Region are held in custody at the Caltanissetta Municipality. With its contradictions, the Trabonella mine is strongly representative of the history and the “Civilization of the Sulfur” and constitutes a paradigm of all dif- ficulties, mistakes but also innovations, experiments and discoveries that characterize the exploitation of the lonnies Sol for Sicilian for more than two centuries.

ROSSO DI SAN SECONDO Best Foreign Short Film

Pier Maria Rosso of San Secondo was born in Caltanissetta on November 30, 1887 by Count Francesco and Emilia Genoa. In 1934 he married Ingle Redlich, a young college student of Polish origin. Theatrical composer represented worldwide, Pirandello’s proposal for the Accademia d’Italia Award, which al- lows him to build a villa in Lido di Camaiore. His new home becomes a destination for artists and enthusiasts who are greeted with sincere friendship, but his illness is inexorable and on 22 November 1956 he died in his home in Lido di Camaiore. He is temporarily buried in Ca- pezzano Pianore; After a few years his remains will find a home in Caltanissetta. The Nisseno Rosso di San Secondo is the most European author of the early twentieth century. Immediately he sees the need for a theater free from pre-established schemes, a new language, indisputably poetic, a new way of narrating human con- dition and loneliness. In his theater and in his narrative the themes of acceptance and rebellion, destiny and tragic, flesh and soul, reality and fantasy, become the carriers of his true poetics. Red seeks out the authenticity of things in the inner and outer ways of things, in silences, in the drama of passion, in sex, in eroticism, in solitude, in madness. He is a real experimentator who moves decisively out of the theatrical writing style at that time. His true, direct, but always poetic style gives his creatures that accent of European fairy tale but clung to the fire of a true South.

SAN MICHELE Best Comic Short Film

“San Michele” is the patron of our city. The etymological significance of the name Michele is “Who is like God?” And in Sacred Scripture St. Michael Arcangelo is considered “supreme leader of the heavenly army” ie angels in war against evil (And this is why he is armed portrayed in the art of fighting the devil). The Holy Father was elected patron of the city of Caltanissetta in the first half of the sixteenth century. When, in fact, in 1624 the plague in Sicily broke out, it was fe- ared that the epidemic would come to the city. Two celebrations take place in Caltanissetta in honor of San Michele. One is held on May 8 in memory of the appearance of the Patron Saint. His statue is taken to the procession by the Cathedral, where it is guarded, not to the dedicated sanctuary. The statue remains there for a few days, then returns to the Cathedral. The other party is celebrated on September 29, liturgical day. After the solemn bridges of the bishop celebrated by the Bishop, the statue is brought to procession along the streets of the center. During the procession, a devotee cries out: “And we all shou- ted!” And all the others respond: “Viva lu principi San Micheli Arcangilu”. The procession ends with the traditional fires of art. 46 AWARDS

Gessolungo Best Short Film “Free Theme”

The Caltanissetta basin, which was part of the group of solos of Gessolungo, proved to be thanks to the privileged geographic position, which was extremely advantageous. The Caltanissetta mining group was one of the first to be cultivated on the northern side of the Gessolungo Mine. The holes in the Brisca- le (Sulfur oxidized and emerging super cie) dating back to the early eighteenth century are still visible. The Gessolungo mine still holds another sad primacy. In fact, in 1881, the typhoon was deceived by the greatest disaster ever in Catania in Sicily: for a flurry of grisou died 81 workers. It was so profound that the popular emotion that was demanded and obtained the burial of the victims in a cemetery, the “Cemetery of the Carusi”, built for the occasion near the sulfur nissena and still visitable. The cultural interest in the world of Sicilian sulfurists was marked in the second post-war period: poets, writers, painters, jour- nalists, photographs, directors described the mines and the life of the sulfur. Particularly in the areas of the Nissen basin are the photographic service realized by Trenkler of Leipzig in 1904 and part of the “Cavalleria Rusticana” film shot by Rossellini.

Redentore Best Animated Short Film

The Monument to the Redeemer is located on the highest peak of Monte San Giuliano, which overlooks the entire Calta- nissetta. It is a pedestal containing a chapel inside it, which starts square and circularly to give adequate support to the statue of the Redeemer. At the beginning of the 20th century Pope Leo XIII commissioned nineteen monuments to Christ the Rector, one in every region of Italy (at the time 19). Among the regions responding to the Pope’s appeal It was Sicily who chose the summit of Mount San Giuliano, in the heart of the island, as a place for the erection of the mo- nument. The project was given to the architect Ernesto Basile by Giovan Battista Filippo Basile (the architect of the Teatro Massimo di Palermo). The first stone was laid on May 13, 1900. The statue of the Redeemer came from Rome on July 30 but No great celebrations were made because the King of Italy Umberto I had just been assassinated in Monza and had been proclaimed the national mourning. For this reason, the inauguration of the monument was postponed: from August no to September 30, 1900, there were great celebrations in the city and the inauguration took place in the presence of Cardinals, bishops, clergy and people from all over Sicily.
