Academy Award-Winner Paul Haggis Presides Over Fabrique Du Cinema Awards, Italy, Finalists Unveiled

Fabrique Du Cinema Awards, organized by the magazine Fabrique Du Cinema from Rome, Italy, which defines itself as 'the magazine of the new Italian cinema',and whose 2018 jury is presided over by two-times Academy Award-winner Paul Haggis, has unveiled 2018 Award Finalists. There are three US-coproductions among the international selection. The only feature category where an English-spoken film has been finalist is the Best Documentary Film, where AMERICAN MIRROR, directed by USA-filmmaker Arthur Balder, most awarded film at DOC LA 2018 presented by the Parajanov-Vartanov Institute in Los Angeles, contends against three other Italian films: BEAUTIFUL THINGS by Giorgio Ferrero (Italy), which was presented at Biennale di Venezia in 2017 and has been widely awarded internationally, AS TIME GOES BY by Simone Aleandri, and SAND UNDER THE SNOW by Emilio Romeo.
