Winners of the video contest include Federico Scargiali with his excellent Life.Love.Regret., a short film of only 9 minutes that enjoys a disturbing story, well directed and acted (magnificent Eileen Daly). In addition to Scargiali, the name of Paolo Del Fiol also stands out with his very special Holdouts. Once again Del Fiol presents a unique work in which he blends different cultures (Western and Eastern) and in which he uses a real tank (lent to him by a collector friend) to best represent his short film dedicated to Japanese ghost soldiers ("Holdouts" in reference to the title).
