XDANISSINI is part of the #M12Collateral programme



"What is the Elixir of Danisinni? It's a collective work that aims to create an immersive theatre play set in a poetic and surreal urban landscape, which has no equal in the world: the Danisinni district of Palermo."

An elixir of love and its mysterious poison, a reportage to write and draw. The magical garden of Danisinni and his chorus meet the theatrical work produced by Teatro Massimo, and the vision of my gaze tells it through sketches and illustrations.

SAMOUNI ROAD won L’Œil d’or Documentary Award


SAMOUNI ROAD by Stefano Savona won L’Œil d’or Documentary Award as best documentary of the whole Festival de Cannes!

The jury praised Samouni Road and Savona “for the intelligence of his approach, the right distance of its point of view, the delicacy of his glance, the brilliant and subtle use of animation and the strength of his narrative structure, all of which contribute to plunged [us] into exceptional proximity with beings caught in the unbearable reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”


Samouni Road world premiere in Cannes


I feel blessed and honored for being part of this film. 

4 years and half of work and life, 
many things can happen during such a long period of time.

Then, like a dream, 
we have been selected at "50th Quinzaine des Réalisateurs" in Cannes
the french film crew met the italian film crew
whereof 28 animators, almost all of them where present.

It's been one of the strongest experiences of my life. 

Thank you Stefano and Simone, thank you to all the crew!

We hope to give a new voice to all the Samouni family.
