10th Edition of the Tonino Accolla Euromed Festival 2025
From June 26 to 29, 2025, the 10th edition of the Euromed Festival Tonino Accolla 2025 will take place in Noto and Syracuse, organized by A.R.C.A. Siracusa, with artistic direction by Stefania Altavilla, assisted by Carola Mandalari and Lorenzo Accolla, and with the support and patronage of various public and private entities.
On the evening of Thursday, June 26, 2025, at the former Cassonello Barracks in Noto, the 10th edition of the Euromed Festival Tonino Accolla 2025 will be inaugurated, organized by A.R.C.A. Siracusa, with artistic direction by Stefania Altavilla, assisted by Carola Mandalari and Lorenzo Accolla, and with the support and patronage of various public and private entities. The opening night will begin with a string concert by the Montalbano Quartet of Palermo, featuring music by renowned film composer Hans Zimmer.
The festival, hosted by Maurizio Merluzzo, assisted by Riccardo Suarez, will take place in Piazza Minerva in Syracuse on Friday, June 27, and Saturday, June 28, with the traditional live contest for young talents from national dubbing schools, and again in Noto, in the former Cassonello Barracks, on Sunday, June 29, with an international workshop on “Economy and culture, inclusive opportunities for territorial development.” The workshop is scientifically directed by economist Santi Tomaselli.
The program for the various days is quite full of activities involving various personalities from the world of institutions, cinema, art, and culture, including those from overseas.
During the opening evening, the jury (chaired by art critic Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico) will officially announce the winner of the Cinema Promotion Award (1st edition), dedicated to Adriano Pintaldi and chaired by director Pupi Avati (honorary president). The award ceremony will take place in Parliament in Rome in the fall of this year.
The driving force behind this edition continues, in the wake of the previous one, to
raise awareness among the younger generations on crucial issues such as the environment and
social inclusion, using the universal and incisive language of cinema and
dubbing, at the center of the European institutional debate. In this context, recognition is given to the famous Milanese poodle Wally Taylor, awarded the Palm Dog by Quentin Tarantino at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
The festival is assisted by two exceptional juries, the technical jury, chaired by actor and voice actor Fabrizio Pucci, and the critics and press jury, chaired by Milanese art critic Marco Eugenio Di Giandomenico.
For the 10th edition of the Tonino Accolla Award, the lifetime achievement award is presented to Fabrizio Pucci, and the excellence awards to Alessandro Campaiola Ward, Federico Campaiola Ward, Benedetta Degli Innocenti, and Francesca Manicone.
Based on the results of the judging panels and the audience involved, the following Tonino Accolla awards will be presented at the live contest on June 28, 2025: best female performer, best male performer, press award, and audience award.
Among the various special guests, Alex Poli will present “Film senza Immagini” (a project created with Voci.fm), and Francesca Bochicchio, director of the documentary film “Io Salvatore – AI Revolution,” which will be screened and awarded on the final evening of the festival.
