Tullio Kezich has been awarded the journalistic prize for the “Rural civilization in half a century of Italian cinema” published on the magazine “Oggi e Domani” year IX n. 10 October 1981. The article suggests a charming and original way to make the examination of the rural civilization using the camera as a new instrument of analysis, documentation, and interpretation of a theme (the rural world) that has been the backbone of the best recent national film productions.
